The Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, on the sidelines of the EU Competitiveness Council, specified what measures will be presented in "a first support package within the emergency decree". Urso specified: "the package will provide, I hope, the suspension of mortgages, the installment of tax burdens, the activation of the guarantee fund which in our opinion should be the maximum allowed by European rules on state aid. Then, when there is an effective census of the sectors and companies most affected, we will be able to intervene with more appropriate and targeted measures.

Finally, Urso told journalists: "There are European Union funds already activated in similar cases and it is right that Italy can access it in this case too."
