Premier to meet Merkel in Berlin Monday
(ANSA) -
Berlin, March 14 - The German government on Friday called Premier Matteo
Renzi's economic-reform agenda "ambitious" and said it would be
discussed at Monday's meeting in Berlin between him and Chancellor Angela
Merkel. "But I don't want to give away the content of what they'll reveal
right afterward," said spokesman Steffen Seibert.
Renzi, the leader of the eurozone's third-largest economy, won early praise
from Merkel on the eve of winning confidence votes to become premier and
replace Enrico Letta last month. Merkel, who heads Europe's biggest economy,
called Renzi to congratulate him and to "wish him every success in his
policy of reform," Seibert, said at the time. The phone call also came
with the invitation to visit Berlin. This week Renzi unveiled a major package
of tax cuts and investments to revive the weak Italian economy in its slowgoing
recovery from its worst recession since World War II.
