Tariffs, FdI: "15% is better than other solutions, we hope to improve further. Meloni facilitated the negotiations."
Marco Osnato
"The 15% tariffs are certainly not good news, but they are better news than they could have been in another context ," Marco Osnato, economics director for the Brothers of Italy party and chairman of the Chamber of Deputies' Finance Committee , told Affaritaliani . "We hope we can work further to improve this percentage across the board, or for some product categories. I believe Giorgia Meloni's work with the European Commission to facilitate the most satisfactory negotiations possible has been significant. We still can't fully understand the impact, but we already know that the government is willing to allocate various funds from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) to mitigate any potential negative impacts."
Regarding the opposition's criticism, Osnato states: "For weeks now, we've been witnessing the opposition's charade, particularly that of the Democratic Party and its leader Elly Schlein, who continue to say that the European Union and Italy should have taken tougher action against the United States. Honestly , I still haven't figured out what this 'secret weapon' the Democratic Party has in mind and hasn't yet revealed is . Everything Europe was able to highlight overseas has been done, but the context is very complicated."
