spokesman Tom van Lierop said Friday the EU Commission wants "to know as
quickly as possible" why local authorities used money typically earmarked

heart of Naples at the Piedigrotta festival, which is backed by local
authorities.
National authorities have a lot of leeway to approve spending from
such funds under (EURO) 50 million ($69 million), but the commission wants to
know why any money was used for such a concert.
