SOUNDBITE (English) James Walston, political analyst, professor of political studies at American University of Rome: "Ten wise men produced a series of proposals, political ones and economic ones. The political ones to break the log jam of institutional reform, the economic ones to start growth again in Italy. They have not been particularly original, they have not been particularly controversial. Most of them have been shared. There are some that have been divided up between the different parts of the political spectrum, so there is a little bit for everyone. If they were all put through there would be a major change, but the point is that they were never meant to be proposals which would actually be put into force, this was a way of filling in the time between one stage of doing nothing and getting the new president elected."
