EU: “We have received Meloni’s letter on flexibility; we will examine it in detail”

Brussels, 2 Oct. (LaPresse) – “I can confirm that yesterday we did indeed receive Prime Minister Meloni’s letter regarding further budgetary flexibility; we will examine it in detail, as is customary, and subsequently set out our assessments and our position on the matter” . This was stated by a spokesperson for the European Commission during the daily press briefing. “The sending of this type of letter,” explained the European Commission’s chief spokesperson, Paula Pinho, “is standard practice in the run-up to a European Council meeting, when leaders set out their concerns, which we naturally take into account. Such communications also contribute to the preparatory discussions for the upcoming European Council meeting in October.”
