Italians' 'message of concern'

THE European Union's executive yesterday said it had heard "the message of concern" sent by dissatisfied Italian voters but expected the nation nevertheless to stick to its pledges of budget cuts and economic reforms.

"We clearly hear the message of concern expressed by Italian citizens," said European Commission spokesman Olivier Bailly at a news conference.

But "Italy has made commitments vis-a-vis the commission and other member states, on the reduction of its deficit, on the reduction of its debt, and on a number of other pledges of structural reform."
