Gentiloni to Libération, 'EU, unimaginable turning points in 3 months'

(ANSA) - PARIS, JULY 01 - The European Union has made some real changes in financial rigor, debt reduction, competition rules and industrial politics: "it would have been totally unimaginable before the Coronavirus crisis - says EU Commissioner for Business economic, Paolo Gentiloni - we lived 10 weeks, from mid-March to the end of May, which profoundly changed the EU ".
    In this turning point, Chancellor Angela Merkel has fundamentally changed her position on the mutualisation of debts: "it is not the first time that Merkel has shown that she is capable of changing her opinion to manage a crisis - says Gentiloni - the Franco-German relationship has played a role fundamental in his awareness that it was necessary to have a common economic policy engine, in this case the solid revival, to avoid the divergence between the economies. This convergence is, in fact, a German national interest. In Germany many have told me 'if the Northern Italy's economy fails, for us it is a disaster. "The German government has led this feeling of the world of work and business into a courageous political decision." (HANDLE).
