ITALY: At the weekend, Il Giornale newspaper carried an interview with Forza
Italian leader, Silvio Berlusconi in which he outlined an idea for a second
currency -- a new lira -- to complement the euro.
- The idea is to run the euro for international transactions and a new lira for
domestic ones and he believes that it would help revive domestic demand.
- In the interview he says "we are convinced that the idea is compatible with EU
Treaties" and it will allow for a "partial recapture of the sovereignty of the
State".
