Rimini (Italy), Nov 8 (IANS/AKI) Italian citizens will benefit from a faster transition to a "sustainable, innovative and competitive economy," Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said on Tuesday.

"We need to continue on this positive path and to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable, innovative and competitive economy," he added.
