Juncker to Italy: “attacks Us, I do not care”. Renzi’s reply: “On the costs of the earthquake we will not rest” – The Republic

the MILAN - The Maneuver of the Italian continues its journey in Parliament, and while he receives the reviews of the main economic agencies of the Italian, salt, the pressure of Europe on Roma and the premier Matteo Renzi is to respond to the cross-fire that comes from Brussels. To light the fuse, by the Eurogroup, which is the first Eu commissioner for economic Affairs, Pierre Moscovici, which marks in reference to Italy: “Even if we take into account all the flexibility, even if the Covenant is smart, there are rules that must be respected by all. The Commission is extremely comprehensive, but the rules must be respected”. But ab ove all they are the words of the president of the Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, to make the temperature rise.

Says Juncker: “in Italy do not cease to attack us, to hurt, and this creates results different from those expected”. Speaking at a conference promoted by the european trade unions and referring to the controversies on the position of the Eu executive, marks: “Wisdom would ignore the cost of the refugees and of the earthquake in italy, but these costs are equivalent to 0.1% of Gdp. Italy had promised to arrive at a deficit of 1.7% in 2017, and now offers us the 2,4% (2,3% in the Budget law, ed). When, in fact, this cost is reduced to 0.1% of the product”. For the next year, however, the budget’s programmatic Italian incorporates costs of 0.4% of Gdp “related to the phenomena considered to be of an exceptional nature: the intensity of recent migration flows and the high frequency of earthquakes in recent years”, as he had no way to summarize the Upb in its hearing on the Budget law. Together, 2.8 billion of expenditure on lifeti me to the reconstruction, the government is putting on the plate 3.4 billion for prevention.

Juncker, Italy “can not say, and if you want to say he can do it, but I do not care, that austerity policies would have been carried on by this Commission as they had been put in place previously.” On the other hand, delivers even the luxembourg, Rome “can spend 19 billion more that would not have to spend if we had not reformed the Stability pact in the sense of flexibility.” In any case, the Commission continues to maintain close relations with the Italian government as well as with other governments “to keep an eye on the situation.”

A series of outputs, that could not trigger the reaction of Matteo Renzi: “I have read the statements of Juncker: we do not do controversy, only that the safety of the students don’t look anyone in the face”. In the course of an event on the referendum, the president of the Council states: “We respect the rules, but the rules must go to the stability of our children. You can discuss austerity, but on the school construction, there is no possibility to lock the position of the Italian: we that money we put them out by the Stability pact, like it or not to the officials of Brussels”. Later, the premier, speaking at a public event in Latina, is back on the topic of raising the tones. Nodes, reiterates the premier league, remain two: migrants and earthquake.

expenditures for these two emergencies, says Renzi, must be considered outside of the roof, imposed by the european agreements on state budgets: “We’ve had three earthquakes in the last seven years. We will rebuild and we will put in safety, and like it or not like it, those expenses will be outside the Stability Pact. Are expenses that relate to the stability of our children,” said Matteo Renzi. The same consideration to the emergency of migrants: “The dead of the last year of islamic extremism estimated there are about a thousand: a massacre, an unacceptable number. The deaths in the Mediterranean are between three and four thousand”. And again: “For years, we took notes from the ‘schoolteacher Europe’. I am for the european ideal of Spinelli, but the ideal may not be to talk about Spinelli and then when it comes to the topic of migrants, the agreements signed will become waste paper. It is unthinkable to continue with this attitud e, he added Renzi – for which they get when there is to take, and they never know anything. Unacceptable that we do the piggy bank and the other up the walls.”

in Short, “there remains much work to be done” in view of the reviews on the Budget proposal for the Italian, as he admitted the same Moscovici: there are “figures, and measures to bring”. But Moscovici rejects the criticism of those who argue that the Commission creates obstacles to the reconstruction after the earthquake in Italy. Words that don’t “have sense”, because the “Commission has always shown its ability to take into consideration in an intelligent and subtle the situation in the individual Countries, but at the same time, it does in the framework of the rules”. That work should go forward is also well known to Pier Carlo Padoan, the Italian minister for the Economy, for which the dialogue between the Eu Commission and the Italian government “to be continued”. “Comparison – he says Padoan by the Eurogroup – is a bad word: the dialogue continues, and of course, every time you come here, you have the opportunity to meet both colleagues ministers and members of the Commission. We will do so also this time.”
