BUCHAREST (Reuters) – The European Commission is assessing the implications for Italy’s budgetary requirements of lower-than-forecast economic growth this year, European Commission vice president Valdis Dombrovskis said on Saturday.
He added that there were concerns about Italy’s growth as it could be below the 0.2 percent expansion forecast by the Commission, and much lower than the Italian government’s predictions of 1 percent.
