downplayed reports that his government was set to put new taxes
on sugary soft drinks and snacks and on flights.
"Let's not create social panic," Conte said in New York,
where he is taking place in the UN General Assembly.
"Answering a question from a journalist about snacks, I just
said that we are not ruling it out.
"But it is not a concrete, definitive (proposed) measure.
"We don't want new taxes".
