European Commission Vice
President Andrus Ansip said Wednesday that Italy must respect
the EU's budget rules.
"When you're in the eurozone family, you have to respect the
rules we have given ourselves," Ansip told ANSA when asked about
Rome's reply to the Commission's call for its budget plan for
2019 to be significantly changed.
"Running up debt with taxpayers' money is not an intelligent
idea.
"There is an intelligent government in Italy and I hope that
they will be capable of finding good solutions for the European
Union and the Italian people".
