EUROPE: Per the FT, Spain's "Economy minister Nadia Calvino tells FT richer

countries should not be able to support their economies more generously Spain

has urged EU leaders to approve up to EUR1.5tn in grants to rebuild the bloc's

pandemic-stricken economies and prevent the worst hit countries from being

undercut by better-off states. Speaking to the Financial Times ahead of an EU

summit on Thursday, Nadia Calvino, Spain's deputy prime minister for the

economy, said it was necessary for the so-called coronavirus recovery fund to

award grants, not loans, to preserve the bloc's internal market from unfair

competition from states in a better financial position to fund business rescues

and stimulus packages."
