BRUSSELS - The European Union should give Italy more time to cut debt and support a plan to reinvigorate investment, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on Wednesday after a meeting in Brussels with the president-designate of the European Commission.
Past governments made similar requests, causing prolonged disputes with the European Union, notably over the budget. Conte said he was seeking a pact with the EU, so his government could carry out long-term reforms, implying that this may require flexible interpretation of fiscal requirements. He said progress was being made toward establishing a temporary mechanism for that. Von der Leyen, who will take office in November, had said on Tuesday that migration rules needed overhauling.
