ROME (Reuters) - Italy is ready to use its veto power against a European Union climate deal if it deems that its interests will be hurt "excessively," Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Wednesday.
"If I see that Italian interests will be hurt in an excessive way, I will use our veto rights," Berlusconi told reporters at a book presentation ahead of an EU summit starting on Thursday.
