Deputy Economy Minister Antonio Misiani said Tuesday that the EU's COVID-19 Recovery Fund risks being delayed after Poland and Hungary vetoed approval of the bloc's budget due to objections to funding being linked to respect of rule-of-law conditions.
"We are supporting the mediation between the European
parliament and the European Council," said Misiani.
"We expect the governments applying the veto to change their
position".
Italy is set to be the biggest beneficiary of the
750-billion-euro Recovery Fund.
