BRUSSELS - From the revision of the PNRR to energy, from the reform of the Stability Pact to migrants and the supremacy of EU law over national law: there are many
open dossiers between Italy and the EU
that the
new government of Giorgia Meloni
will have to deal with .
Here are the main arguments at the center of the comparison.
-
Pnrr
.
Italy asks to be allowed to make changes.
The EU has repeatedly stressed that the room for maneuver is very limited.
-
Energy
.
Price cap, decoupling of energy from gas prices, reform of the TTF market, aid to businesses and citizens, the problems to be solved as soon as possible.
Italy could benefit from the release of 4 billion EU structural funds not yet spent.
-
Reform of the Stability Pact
.
The EU Commission proposal will arrive on November 9th.
For Italy, struggling with a deficit and a debt well above the Maastricht parameters, it will be an important test for the future management of public accounts.
-
Migrants
.
The management of flows has been at the center of clashes and controversies for years.
On the one hand, Italy is slowing down on the landing of illegal immigrants collected at sea by NGO ships, on the other, the EU stresses the need for rescues to take place as quickly as possible.
-
Bathing concessions
.
For years, the EU has been asking Italy to apply the Bolkestein directive by putting plant concessions to tender.
The new government considers this unconstitutional and questions the supremacy of EU law over national law.
-
Nutritional label
.
Italy has been engaged for years in a battle in Brussels to prevent the EU from adopting the French Nutriscore traffic light model - considered misleading and penalizing for Italian products - to indicate the nutritional properties of food.
-
Tim, MPS and Ita
.
The three dossiers are already or are in any case destined to pass through the scrutiny of the services of the EU Commission that monitor compliance with free competition and against monopolies.
