In the opinion of Piero Fassino, responsible for Foreign Affairs (Italy, Pd), providing 0.7% of GDP (PIL in italian language) for Development is a “wise policy”, essentially for two reasons. “The first is an economic reason: if the Developing Countries improve their conditions, all the world economy may derive benefit from that – he says – The second reason involves the security.

As consequence, he complaints a lot about the current contribution by Italian Government, that is only 0.1% of its GDP.
