Joint statement by President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, and Prime Minister of Italy, Mario Monti

President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, and Prime Minister Mario Monti met today to discuss the preparation of the 14-15 March European Council, at which Mr. Monti will still represent Italy, and that will be devoted to the coordination of economic, fiscal and employment policies in the European Union to boost growth and job creation in the context of the "European Semester"

The structural reforms implemented so far in Italy have helped to restore market confidence and its international credibility. If continued they will significantly raise Italy's growth potential. Italy has also put its public finances on a sounder footing which is an essential condition to ensure growth

As regard the current political situation following the elections, President Van Rompuy expressed his full confidence that Italy will continue to remain a stable and strong Member of the European Union and of the Eurozone
