Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Strasbourg, October 22 - European Commission plans to focus on economic growth and investment over the next five years, presented by President Jean-Claude Juncker on Wednesday, are "right", said Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini.
    "The priority will be to work on [investment] and I believe we have the right team to do so," Mogherini said.
    Juncker promises an investment package "by Christmas", said Mogherini.
    Mogherini said that she's "satisfied" with the European Parliament vote that approved the Juncker-led commission on Wednesday, where 60.5% of the 699 MEPs present voted yes after some strenuous quizzing.
    Mogherini will become EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy on November 1.
