Outgoing European
Commission President José Manuel Barroso said Thursday that he
was not in favour of the release of the letter the EU executive
sent to the Italian government asking for clarifications over
its 2015 budget bill.
He said releasing the letter was "a unilateral decision by
the Italian government".
"The Commission was not in favour because we are in a
phase of negotiations and consultations with several
governments, and these are technical consultations, which it is
better to have in a confidential atmosphere," he said.
