Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said
Tuesday that blocking Italian goods due to the coronavirus
emergency was unacceptable.
"Blocking goods is unacceptable," he said.
"And having countries who are now asking for guarantee labels
on Italian goods is an unacceptable fact".
Di Maio was talking at the presentation of the 2020
Extraordinary Plan for Promoting Made In Italy amid the virus
emergency.
Several countries have blocked Italian goods.
Di Maio said 716 million euros had been earmarked to boost
'Made in Italy' products.
"I can assure you that we want to spend it in the best way
possible," he said.
"Among the ways in which it will be spent there will be
credit for businesses and an extraordinary communications
campaign, as well as all the information for
internationalisation".
