Yesterday the Minister of Foreign Affairs - Third Party - announced his resignation at the end of the information to the House. "My reservations have been ignored," said the minister, with reference to the decision to send back to India the two Italian soldiers, when the agreement to hold them in Italy had been taken in consultation with all evaluations of government.
The reasons for this ballet are linked to a real crisis of trade between Italy and India that could jeopardize the relationships of exchange. In fact, over the past year the total exports, according to some estimates, it should be increased to around 3.8 billion euro, but what is more important is that the official data say that in the first five months of 2011, bilateral trade Italy -India has registered a growth of 29.3% compared to the same months of 2010.
In particular, Italian exports to the Indian subcontinent have increased by 21% between exporters and the European Union, Italy is in fourth place behind Germany, Belgium and the UK and ahead of France.
A market that shows potential for significant growth, and it is therefore obvious that the entrepreneurs involved in the fear that the incident in Kerala can now jeopardize this positive trend.
