ROME: Italy will keep to fiscal limits set by the European Union in order to be in a stronger position to push for them to be changed, said on Tuesday.
"Do we want to stick to the figures in order to change European rules? Yes, in a certain sense that is true," Padoan told reporters.
New Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has described an EU budget deficit limit of 3 percent of economic output as outdated, and has repeatedly noted that stronger economies than Italy are allowed to flout such rules.
