ROME (Reuters) - The leader of Italy's anti-euro Northern League party said he was confident that far-right parties would manage to form a Eurosceptical group in the European Parliament, despite their failure to do so by an initial deadline on Tuesday.

The League and fellow anti-euro parties from France and the Netherlands failed to garner the required 25 adherents from at least seven of the EU's 28 member countries to form a group when parliament convenes on July 1.
