Italy-SpaceX deal would be compatible with Iris² - EU

(see related) (ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JAN 7 - An agreement between the Italian government and Elon Musk's SpaceX for the use of the Starlink satellite communications system would be compatible with participation in the Iris² project, the European Union's satellite internet constellation, a European Commission spokesperson told ANSA on Tuesday.
    "An EU regulation establishes the Iris² system and is therefore applicable throughout the EU," the spokesperson said.
    "Italy, as a sovereign state, has full discretionary power to proceed with sovereign decisions and actions". (ANSA).
