ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “I had the opportunity to speak with President von der Leyen” of the letter. “It is a theme that has not only placed Italy. We put the theme of the impact that the greater inflation is having on national budgets, this entails higher automatic costs for almost all Member States.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, at the press conference at the end of the MED9 Summit in Split, on the letter sent to the President of the European Commission for greater budgetary flexibility due to high energy and inflation.
“We are not asking for free spending because we want to be cheerful, but we must consider that in our budgets there will be billions and billions more to spend without having decided. We believe this should be evaluated. It seems to me to be of interest, but it is a long debate because convergence must be found. Surely there is interest in listening,” Meloni added.
On the dear carburetors “what I can hope is that you can fully restore the price cap”, said the premier. “We are ready to intervene again, especially with the mobile excise mechanism, but we are questioning whether it is more effective to spend these resources at this time in which however there are containment measures, or to keep them as stock when containment measures should end,” added Meloni.
“This meeting happens in a quite complex situation, especially for the Mediterranean area but also on the eve of an important European Council. I think it is extremely useful to try as much as possible to bring together positions between the Mediterranean countries in Europe and in the interests of the EU as a whole. The many subjects discussed show how useful it is for the EU to have a particular eye for its South shore,” Meloni said.
