Italy expects the European Union to grant fiscal flexibility for energy spending to protect households and businesses from price volatility. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Tuesday that Italy is seeking the same budgetary leeway for energy costs currently permitted for defense investments. This policy shift would allow Italy to manage energy shocks without violating EU fiscal rules.
