Noting that the Commission has until Wednesday to conclude its assessment of the budgets, a Commission spokesman told a news conference: "We are still analysing the information that was sent to us by Italy and France in particular ... We welcome the fact these member states have committed themselves to the process of constructive dialogue with the Commission."
