Meloni in the Senate: "International complex framework. The war of duties does not help anyone"

“I come here with the hope that today’s debate will all find us with the awareness of the serious time” we are going through, there is the need to reason together, despite the divisions between the political forces, “with the sense of responsibility”. Premier Giorgia Meloni says so, in communications to the Senate in view of the meeting of the European Council. “We are on the eve of a European Council that falls in an extremely complex moment for global events, and at the same time decisive for the fate of Italy, of the Europe of the West,” said the Premier. We must “try to think together what are the best choices for our nation,” he said.

A commercial war would not benefit anyone

The theme of duties is not on the agenda of the European Council but “it is a point to be kept in great consideration”, the Trump Administration “has decided to reactivate the duties”, the picture is complex and in constant evolution “. This was said by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, during the classroom communications in the Senate in view of the European Council of 20 and 21 March.
“We must continue to work to find an understanding terrain e avert a commercial war that would not benefit anyone“The premier said.” It is not wise to fall into the vicious circle of reprisals, “he added.” I am not sure that it is a good deal to respond to the duties with other duties “, there is a need for” common sense “, he underlined.

Do not fall into the temptation of retaliators

Regarding the theme of duties, “I think it is not wise to fall into the temptation of reprisals that become a vicious circle in which everyone forgives. If it is true that the duties imposed on non -EU goods can theoretically encourage internal production, in a strongly interconnected context such as that of European and American economies, the picture is complicated. “The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, in his communications in view of the European Council on Thursday and Friday, said it in the classroom of the Senate.
“The duties – added Meloni – can easily translate into induced inflation, with the consequent reduction of the purchasing power of families and the subsequent raising of the rates by the ECB to contrast the inflationary phenomenon, as we have already seen. Result: inflation and monetary narrow that brakes economic growth. I am not sure, in short, that it is necessarily a good deal to respond to the duties with other duties. Expenses in search of common sense solutions between the United States and Europe, dictated more by logic than by instinct, in an perspective of mutual respect and economic convenience “.

Rearm UE? It is not rearmament, it is defense

On the ‘Rearm Ue’ “I asked to change its name, because the name is misleading for citizens. We are called to strengthen defensive skills” but “it does not mean buying armaments” but “if anything to produce them” strengthening “our productive fabric. Strengthen defense skills“It does not mean speaking” only about arsenals. Safety “is a” very vast “sector.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said it, speaking to the Senate. “Without defense there is no security, without security there is no freedom,” said the Prime Minister, “changing the name to Rearm UE is not a semantic question, but of substance and merit. With resources to provisions, subjects can be financed” which should be interested in everyone, supported Meloni. “Italy does not intend to remove a single euro from the resources of cohesion,” he said.

Never questioned the support for Kiev

“Never questioned” support to Kiev, “we claim this commitment, Italy has a clear position, respects its international commitments. It is a nation whose opinion counts”. So the premier Giorgia Meloni in the Senate room in communications in view of the EU Council.

No to the Green Deal, but with a different name

“We will continue to insist on an effective industrial policy, which knows how to combine environmental objectives with competitiveness, renouncing the ideological excesses that we have unfortunately seen and denounced in the past. The Clean Industrial Deal presented by the Commission goes in this direction, but it is clear that we intend to prevent it from transforming into a new green deal with a different name. To do this we ask for concrete actions. of the car, a strategic industrial sector for Europe that cannot be abandoned to its destiny “. The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, said in the Senate room, in his communications in view of the European Council on Thursday and Friday.

The credentials to cross the storm

“With a clear vision Italy has all the cards in rules to cross this storm too”, “we will put all the courage you need”. Thus the premier Giorgia Meloni, concluding his communications in the Senate in view of the EU Council.
