This important task given to the Commissioner appointed by Italy is a victory for all Italians, not for the Government or a political force. We have acquired a powerful portfolio and coordination of strategic delegations for our country and for the whole of Europe, such as agriculture, fisheries, maritime economy, transport and tourism. This indicator is proof of the new center of Italy in a European context, worthy of our role as a founding state of the EU, the second largest manufacturing industry in Europe and the third largest economy on the continent continent “
