July 14, 2020 "We are working to ensure that the European Council finds itself ready for the appointment of history, because we are aware, Italy and France, that we are on the right side of history". This was said by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, speaking at the French Embassy on the occasion of the celebrations for July 14 and speaking of the negotiation on the Recovery Fund in view of the European Council of July 17-18.

"We are working intensely, we are in a crucial phase of the negotiation and we will work together with President Macron and the other member states so that the path can be completed" and can be "finalized already in the next European Council", added Conte. 

Italy and France united to give new life after crisis
"We want to gradually regain normalcy. We want to improve it. In the face of such a tough challenge we have the unique opportunity to reinvent the world to leave to our children," said the premier again. "Italy and France - he underlined - are called to give European answers. Of a Europe that does not leave any member of its family behind, be responsible, supportive, resilient to crises, strong in the world, greener, more digital". And on this, he assured, "there is harmony with what the French government is pursuing".
