Alitalia: sources, dialogue with the EU positive but a distant solution

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, MARCH 26 - The intensification of the discussions on the Alitalia dossier between the EU Commission and the new government is positive because it shows everyone's willingness to find solutions, but the path is long and there is still much to be done before to arrive at a solution that guarantees a true economic discontinuity for the newco Ita. We learn in Brussels from sources close to the dossier. The transfer of the set by means of a public tender is not an essential condition in itself to demonstrate discontinuity but, the sources explain, without a tender, elements are needed to demonstrate that Itasia is a completely new and independent company.
