"We couldn't accept that Spain could do better than Italy" with Vincenzo Visco

  • Résumé

  • Four months after taking office in May 1996, Italian prime minister Romano Prodi flew to Valencia for a bilateral summit with his Spanish counterpart José María Aznar. Germany, France and the EU's core members were getting ready to create the euro but Italy needed more time to get its economy in order. In Valencia, Prodi lobbied Aznar to join him in a second wave but met a firm veto. "The Aznar position was very tough and somehow shocking for both Prodi and (Treasury minister) Ciampi," says Vincenzo Visco, Prodi's finance minister. "During the flight back to Italy ... Ciampi convinced Prodi to try to enter in the first group". Why and how? In The Room is a series of conversations with officials who played crucial roles in the history of the EU.
