"Growth and green economy recovery priority"
"The relaunch of growth and employment, especially youth and the fight against climate change and support for the 'green economy' represent priority objectives and require strong and clear signals from Europe. I am pleased that the centrality of these objectives was reaffirmed by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on the occasion of the European Parliament's vote in favor of the new European Commission, on November 27 last ". The premier says. "The prospect of the best future of Europe is foreseen, moreover, in the discussion and part of the Conclusions of the European Council, in relation to the path for a Conference on the Future of Europe that Germany and France hope can be developed by the States Members and European Institutions from 2020 to the French Presidency of the EU (1st semester of 2022) ". "With regard to this initiative, the Franco-German contribution, unlike the emphatically appeared in some newspapers, was limited to a proposal of a procedural nature, with a definite schedule. Regarding this exercise, not only I intend to express support for the goal of transmitting concrete signals of rapprochement of the European institutions to the citizens, but I predict that we will not miss our proposals and I also trust the help of the Chambers, he underlines ".

"The 'negotiating box' on the Multiannual Financial Framework was presented by the Finnish Presidency only last December 2. It contains some hypotheses of allocation of the funds, which are not exhaustive, which the Italian Government considers unsatisfactory. since it involves significant expenditure reductions, but above all it is overall unbalanced ". Emphasizes Count.

"We will oppose cuts in Space, Defense, security and digital Rome"
"With reference to individual policies, the Government intends to oppose the disproportionate cuts, which would affect strategic sectors such as Space, digital, Defense, security: it is a subtraction of resources from the new priorities of the European Union which must necessarily remain ambitious ". The prime minister states.

"There is no automatic debt restructuring" "
" The revision of the Mes treaty does not make substantial changes to the already existing treaty and - in particular - it does not introduce, and it is our firm intention that this does not happen, any automatism in the restructuring of the debt of a State, but leaves to the European Commission the fundamental role of assessing its sustainability and ensuring the overall consistency of the macroeconomic analyzes carried out on the member countries ". And he adds "Italy has nothing to fear even because its debt is fully sustainable, as shown by the evaluations of the main international institutions, including the Commission, and how the markets confirm".
