The European Commission is
confident that Italy will do its best on the Recovery Plan to
take advantage of the EU's Recovery Fund, an EC spokesperson
said Tuesday.
The spokesperson, Erica Mamer, declined to comment on Italy's
looming government crisis over the Plan.
"We do not comment on political situations within member
States," she said.
"We are working with the Italian authorities and we have full
confidence that Italy will do its best to present and launch the
national plan for Recovery, to benefit from the funds of Next
Generation EU when they are available".
Rome is set to get the single biggest tranche, 209 billion
euros, of the 750 billion euro Recovery Fund, as long as its
Plan is approved.
The cash will come in grants and low-interest loans.
Ex-premier Matteo Renzi is set to pull the two ministers of his
centrist Italia Viva (IV) party from the government, sparking a
crisis, over the the Plan and other issues.
