Read more'Ball in Italy's court' says Moscovici

Italy could face disciplinary action over its failure to respect European Union spending rules.
The European Commission found that Italy's public debt stood at more than 130% of GDP in 2018 - far above the 60% limit which EU rules requires.
The disciplinary procedure could ultimately result in an unprecedented fine of more than €3bn (£2.6bn).
European Economics Commissioner Pierre Moscovici has been speaking about this subject today.
He said: "No one should be in doubt that we will apply those rules if the criteria are not fulfilled".
"So now clearly the ball is in Italy's court. We need to see a credible path for 2019 as well as 2020. We stand ready to take into account any new elements that Italy may put forward, but let's not waste time".
