ECB: Tajani, choice on rates makes no sense

(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 16 - "In my opinion, without prejudice to the independence of the ECB, it is not positive for the EU and for the real Italian economy to raise interest rates. It is right for the Fed to do it, but in Europe it makes no sense, given that inflation is linked to the increase in the cost of energy".

The Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, said it at the tenth anniversary of FdI, underway in Rome.
