Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this on the sidelines of the EU trade council. If there is a whiskey on the list? “I asked that there is not, the list will be drawn up between tonight and tomorrow, let’s say they are moderately optimistic,” explained Tajani adding that the second series of countermeasures should come into force on May 15 but, “from here to 15 there is still time for the negotiation”.
“Italy will do everything to facilitate EU negotiations”
