By Giuseppe Fonte and Angelo Amante ROME, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Italy said on Wednesday it would scrap road tax for 14.5 million cars and motorcycles from next year, in a move expected to cost the country's strained state coffers more than €2 billion ($2.

Spain, which had responded to Rome's sanctions with its own border checks on people coming from Italy, also extended its tit-for-tat measures for another 15 days, the Spanish foreign ministry said.
