EU's Barroso says Italy elections must not stop reform drive
"The next elections must not serve as a pretext for putting in doubt how indispensable these measures are," Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso told business daily Il Sole 24 Ore in an interview published a day after Monti announced that he would resign early.
"The relative calm on the markets does not mean we are out of the crisis," he said.
