Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] A journey which the current Italian Presidency of the Council has continued to prioritise; and I would like to thank Stefania Giannini, Minister for Education, Universities and Research for her presence here today. Some days ago the whole College of Commissioners was in Rome with the Italian government. I had a very good meeting with Prime Minister Renzi. By the way I'm very happy with the support Prime Minister Renzi has been giving to the digital agenda. Just yesterday in Venice, with Vice President Kroes, what he said was very impressive. I really want to thank the current Presidency of the Council, in particular Prime Minister Renzi for his commitment to the digital agenda. I'm sure that during the six months of the Italian Presidency we will make specific progress in this area.
