We reserve the right to evaluate," said Davide Faraone, group leader IV in the Senate , at the end of the prescription summit . Does Iv give up voting on Costa's Fi proposal? "Absolutely not. We will evaluate the proposal as a whole and if it convinces us we will fully support it otherwise we will continue to vote on the Costa proposal".
