Wrong to say I'm empty-handed in EU - PM

(ANSA) - Brussels, June 20 - Premier Giuseppe Conte said Thursday it was wrong to say, as some in the Italian media have, that he was going to a European Union summit empty-handed.
    "Some journalist wrote today that I am allegedly coming to Brussels empty-handed," he said.
    "(But) I represent a G7 country, the third country in the eurozone, the second manufacturing power in Europe.
    "How can you think I am coming empty-handed? "I represent all the thousands of Italian business realities what export all over the world with points of absolute excellence".
    Conte described the press reports as "fanciful".
