Italy wants to attract
multinationals and must now see globalisation as a friend rather
than an enemy, Premier Matteo Renzi said Wednesday.
"Italy is open to multinationals," he said on a visit to the
Settimo Torinese plant of L'Oreal, one of the French cosmetics
global leader's biggest facilities outside France.
"For years we have thought that globalisation was the enemy
of Italy while it is a friend," he said on his way out of the
factory, alluding to government plans to lure foreign groups
with its privatisation programme.
Renzi said it was important to "keep small and medium-sized
businesses together and at the same time attract
multinationals".
