3:48 pm
fiscal rules the dispute centers on the country's ballooning debt currently valued at 132 percent of total economic output that's more than double of what's allowed by you budget regulations if you member states back the plan to punish at least the country could face hefty fines. for more of the story let's bring in journalist josephine mckenna rome correspondent and brussels max let me start with you how likely is it that italy will have to pay these fights. well chris you just said that the member states are will have to decide on whether they back the report then they could start a long disciplinary process that it's intended to bring the spending back down but this procedure has been used many many times in the last decade and so far no country has ever had to pay the fine so if the italians step up their game they
3:49 pm
might be able to avoid the fine now we have to keep in mind that italy and the e.u. commission have been at loggerheads for months josephine in rome how is this news gone down in rome where the governing coalition seems shaky as it is. well that's right this was a very scathing assessment of the italian economy and both the leader is of the league mattel sylvania and the movement luigi to have reacted already. with the hang with serious people this is a serious country we want to cooperate but you're not going to touch our pensions mattel's salvini the head of the league was campaigning for local elections things tax cuts at the end and that's not going to be very that's not going to go down very well in brussels so both of them sticking to 2 very strong features of their own policies and while they're saying they want to be cooperative i think we're in for some conflict up ahead and fill us in on the question of how this ballooning
3:50 pm
deficit actually came to pass and what does the government want to spend the money on. well we're due to my deputy prime minister and head of the 5 star movement blames the previous center left democratic party government for this deficit affecting 2018 but there's no doubt that this coalition government has increased dish it's reformed the pension system to make it more generous it's introduced a guaranteed income for the poor and the unemployed which is a another costly maneuver that they've introduced. and now the tail salvini the head of the league wants to introduce tax cuts and greater autonomy for the regions which would also possibly add to the ballooning deficit so this is a big spending government they don't seem to be willing to look at reform and mr salvini today said that austerity was to blame for many of the country's problems that's not a very good outlook as far as brussels is concerned and i think we're going to say
3:51 pm
some some difficulties up ahead particularly because because as you said this coalition government is very unstable and the prime minister just at the contests early this blake said he was not willing to stay unless like result the differences back to you in brussels if you look at this disciplinary process ahead what does the european commissioner for economic affairs mean when he says the door for italy remains open while he basically says that the just the he says the decision isn't final but what he says also is this procedure serves as a warning he also said that he would be willing to consider new data and reassess further down the road so now it all depends on whether or not they're able to convince brussels that they are serious about complying with the new rules and regulations. and josephine let me get back to you 2 in rome the prime minister of italy
3:52 pm
conti said he wants changes to the e.u. rules tell us more of that. well just that the content has indicated he wants changes but he is far more conciliatory then the 2 deputy prime ministers he wants to see some flexibility from brussels it's a little bit vague at this point but his main problem right now is getting there is so coalition partners to talk to each other this is barely any communication going on and there is speculation in the newspapers every day that we're going to see early elections perhaps as early as september if this coalition fails to stick together and decepticon to himself the prime minister has said he will not be sticking around unless they get talking to each other and get this country moving so a lot of political problems before we get to brussels get josefina cannot wrong. brussels thank you both. could this be the latest move in the
