Remarks by Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, following the meeting with Italian Prime Minister, Mario Monti


Van Rompuy and Monti discussed the current economic and financial situation in Italy.

"Prime Minister Monti presented to me his programme to reach fiscal consolidation and to promote economic growth, built on three pillars: fiscal discipline, economic growth and social equity.

"I welcome this ambitious programme, which is necessary to restore growth, market confidence and reinforce debt sustainability. It builds on the strength of the Italian economy, such as its low level of private debt, and the dynamism of its small and medium-size enterprises."
