on the table the dossiers on nuclear power and migrants – Corriere.it

FROM OUR REPORTER
BRUSSELS – They begin their conversation with two glasses of red wine, end it, just before one in the morning, with two glasses of champagne.

It’s a color detail, trivial perhaps, but in this case it’s also a small seal to what is a real political and personal reset. Macron And Melons first they cleared up, put the past aside, then dealt pragmatically a huge amount of files of common interest: from aerospace cooperation to the interests in Africafrom how to ground the details of the Treaty of the Quirinal to the very delicate dossier of the ecological transition of the EU car park, from the help that Paris can give us in a reform of the stability pact in which Berlin is the guardian of stability and not of growth and of how we can reciprocate, starting with the European recognition of the ecological neutrality of nuclear technologies french.

The third European Council of Giorgia Meloni it does not bring home concrete or particular results also because crucial decisions were not on the agenda. But in the opinion of the Prime Minister there are many “steps forward and elements of satisfaction”, including the migrant dossier: where it is true that the contours of the plan that the Commission has undertaken to elaborate remain vague, but it is a fact that the subject remains a priority on the European agenda, with a forthcoming verification, in June, of the actions that will be undertaken.

Certainly the greatest, tangible result remains for Meloni the night confrontation with the president of France.

The satisfaction of a mutual recognition that it took place at the input of the Elysium. Having finally had a 360-degree exchange of views with the leader of the second largest economy in the eurozone who – although in difficulty at home – with an uncertain future with respect to the balance of the Union which will be determined by next year’s elections, remains an essential interlocutor. And this above all for the two country systems.

When Macron and Meloni address the issue of European balances they conclude that the synergy between Italy and France can unfold virtuous effectsbut even more in this historical period, in which the “weakness and erratic nature” of Berlinto use two terms of the Italian delegation, are sometimes showy.

Before leaving the Council, Giorgia Meloni also has a brief face to face with Ursula von der Leyen. In this case we discuss the adjustments that Italy is negotiating with the Commission on the Pnrr, the recovery and resilience plan which is crucial for the revival of our economy. Although the criticisms are not few, it is the head of government himself who underlines a conviction, also based on the excellent personal relations with von der Leyen and on the constant interlocution between the minister Raffaele Fitto and the commissioner for the Economy Paolo Gentiloni: «I absolutely do not see risks» on the disbursement of the third tranche, «there is a very serious, very collaborative work. We have inherited a situation that certainly requires us to work very quickly. But we are doing it together with the Commission. All decisions that are made are decisions that we are sharing. I don’t see any risks.”
