Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Tuesday he would accept "no compromises" at a videoconference of EU leaders this week aimed at addressing the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

Conte told an Italian parliament session that he would not sign up to a "bargain deal" at Thursday's conference.

"The EU and the eurozone cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes they made in the 2008 financial crisis, when it not possible to offer a joint response," he said.

"Either we all win, or we all lose."
