Giulio Tremonti Quotations

The Italian contribution is still being assembled. We're working on it together with the industry ministry.

We are trying to define a European position, not a bilateral position.

No-one wants the blocking of the European market, but then someone launches an ultimatum and the other one responds and the effect is a waterfall.

We have been united in government, and we will be even more so in opposition.

If there are no compensations for the Mezzogiorno (Italy's poor southern region) then Italy will ask that the enlargement eastwards be slowed down.

I listened to them and I can now say that I have no objections.

We still have time to stop European Union states from building national barriers. If not, we risk the impact of August 1914.

Each time it's possible, and whenever there is an occasion, we will repeat that the government does not have confidence in Fazio,

I have been saying for three years that Fazio is not suitable for this job.

Just as for three years I've been saying he's not suited (for the job), I also don't share the position of many -- too many -- jackals who some time ago were praising him and now are the first to condemn him. That doesn't seem civilized to me.
