European Commission rejects Italy's proposed budget: European source

Strasbourg, France, Oct 23, 2018 (AFP)
The European Commission has rejected Italy's proposed 2019 budget and asked for a new plan, a first in European Union history, a European source said Tuesday.

European Economics Commissioner Pierre Moscovici will ask Italy's populist government on Tuesday to "revise its budget," which exceeds EU limits, the source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
