If it were Prime Minister Mario Draghi “to negotiate the new stability and growth pact for Italy, certainly everyone in Europe would be very happy. But this is up to the Italian Parliament to decide, and to Draghi himself”. Sandro Gozi, MEP of Renew Europe elected in France, said this to Adnkronos about the discussion on the revision of the EU budget rules, currently underway. Discussion that will turn into a real negotiation once the European Commission has put forward its proposals, which could happen before the summer break.
Yesterday in Strasbourg, says Gozi, French President Emmanuel Macron, who holds the rotating presidency of the EU Council, “invited us all to act as re-founders, to re-found the EU so that it can give urgent answers. Today we enter a new era. . There is a strong desire on the part of France to make a difference on the investment front: a much more important strategy is needed, also from a quantitative point of view, than investments, above all for ecology and digital technology. France wants to make a difference. , working with Germany and Italy and at the informal summit of heads of state and government on 11 March, the Investment Union will be discussed, which Macron has been talking about since he was minister: in the Competitiveness Council together we have several times discussed this “.
To make the necessary investments, Gozi observes, “more sustainable returns from the debts accumulated during Covid-19 are indispensable. It is a historic opportunity and Italy must play its role fully. Thirty years after Maastricht there is the “historic opportunity to overcome obsolete rules and to decide rules that are much more suited to our needs and requirements. Italy needs to play its role fully at that table. Personally, I would like Draghi to play it, but the Italians will decide.” If it were Draghi – he concludes – they would all be very happy “.
