(AGI)Cernobbio-"There is the risk that while Europe pursues its construction, it is growingly & dangerously rejected & antagonized". 

The comment was made by Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti in a joint statement with the President of the EU Council Herman Van Rompuy. 

Monti explained that, during his talks with Van Rompuy on the sidelines of the Ambrosetti Forum at Cernobbio, "we have had an interesting exchange of opinions on an issue that we both have very much at heart. 

There is the risk - the Premier added - that within the European Union, while the construction of Europe is finalized, the difficulties of the Eurozone give rise to extended, growing and dangerous sensitivities among the public opinion of the different Countries that tend to be antagonistic"

According to the Premier, "counter-oppositions between Countries in the North and South of Europe give rise to old stereotypes and tensions: 

it is paradoxical and sad that while we hope to complete the integration of Europe, there is an opposing dangerous phenomenon that aims at disintegegrating it".
