(ANSA) - Rome, June 18 - Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte will
propose the allocation of special EU funds to combat poverty in
Europe when he meets German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin
on Monday, government sources said.
This could make it possible for the new Italian government to
use European funding to help finance a basic income benefit -
the so-called citizenship wage - that it has pledged to
introduce, the sources said.
