Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio called
for team work on Wednesday to capitalize on the unique
opportunities offered by the EU fund to help States get over the
economic earthquake caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Italy is set to be the biggest beneficiary of the
750-billion-euro Recovery Fund.
Premier Giuseppe Conte has said the government will seek input
from the centre-right opposition on the use of the money.
"Europe has made major resources available. The Recovery Fund is
worth more than the Marshall Plan," Di Maio told the Lower
House.
"We have to move fast, but we also have to move well.
"It's a train that won't pass by again. It is a unique
opportunity to modernize our country.
"We want to take this opportunity, working together with
parliament, the ruling majority and the opposition, and with
business associations and trade unions".
