Donohoe, 'the choice on ratifying the ESM is up to Italy'

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, MARCH 24 - The ratification of the European Stability Mechanism "is important" but "how this will happen is up to the Italian Parliament and, of course, the Italian Government".

    This was stated by the president of the Eurogroup Paschal Donohoe at the end of the Euro Summit.

"I will just emphasize again what I have done before, which is the value of the ratification of the treaty as a whole by all members, because it will play a valuable role in how we can strengthen our cooperation for all," he said.

"We look forward to cooperating and working with them in every way."
