Italy Earthquake Center, Zanetti and De Vincenti: “The funds for prevention are outside the EU stability pact” – The Daily

“From all European countries and the Commission statements of solidarity important arrived. We believe that the ‘ Union must regain the high road indicated by the founding fathers: to respond to the needs of its citizens. So the reconstruction and prevention must be placed in the new European spirit. This is the political and economic policy step that the ‘ Europe is called to do. ” He said the Undersecretary to the Prime Minister, Claudio De Vincenti , in an interview with Messenger , explaining that the prevention funds must be out of the stability Pact European. If the EU say no, echoed the Deputy Minister for Economics Enrico Zanetti, talking to The print , “we would be forced to make alternative choices, penalizing other investments that the country can not afford. Italy – highlights Zanetti – needs to continue to implement the multi-year plans investment to provide the country with infrastructure, to increase the mobility of persons, the mobility of goods, data mobility with broadband .

<'p> “As a government we feel very strong responsibility to forge a pact that,” added De Vincenti arguing that “the issue of prevention is a key issue for a country like ours, characterized by many high seismic risk areas and a heritage the largest in the world of ancient buildings, historical centers. For new construction or for renovations, the anti-seismic standards we have: we can see if they need to be further strengthened and improved, but I would say the first thing to do is to apply them. More difficult, and we must be aware, is making anti-seismic prevention for a large number of ancient buildings and historical centers scattered in our country. Here we need all the scientific and technological skills. Also why the Prime Minister launched the House Renzi Italian project “. As for the funds is called 360 000 000 000 only to secure all buildings at risk of quake-hit areas , but the De Vincenti digit brakes: “It makes little sense embark on estimates before the confrontation with experts and before having assessed the damages and the needs of the affected populations. Now numbers are not possible. But I can guarantee that the resources that we will provide the reconstruction correspond to the needs. What will serve us we will put it. “
