Premier Giuseppe Conte has said that
Italy's Recovery Plan will be "strong and robust, with the aim
of kicking off structural reforms".
Italy is set to be the biggest beneficiary of the EU's
750-billion-euro fund to help States recover from the economic
earthquake caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking at the Festa dell'Unità festival in Modena late on
Tuesday, Conte also said Italy could still take up the option to
apply for billions of euros of low-interest funding from the
European Stability Mechanism, despite reservations by many about
whether this could come with strings attached, including from
within his ruling alliance.
"If it is needed, we will asses things together and I will
propose a solution in parliament," he said.
