EU’s Gentiloni urges Italy to stick to recovery fund deadlines and targets

Gentiloni was speaking in Rome, where some government ministers have said that Italy is struggling to meet reform and spending targets tied to the multi-billion-euro fund.

“I am aware of the difficulties, if there are delays they must be tackled. I think the main commitment of any European government today is to try and meet deadlines, targets,” Gentiloni said at a conference.

Italy is the single largest recipient of the EU’s post-pandemic recovery fund, standing to receive roughly 200 billion euros through 2026.

Access to the funds, however, is tied to so-called “milestones and targets”, which Rome’s new right-wing administration is worried about missing.
