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.
