Emissions, Berlin asks the hard punch on the Fca. Calenda: “Think of Volkswagen” – The Republic

the MILAN - Germany – already in the past few months has pointed the finger at a european level against the approval of a model of Fca – intervenes in leg in the case of issues that are disputed by the Usa to Fiat-Chrysler. A position that does not pass unnoticed and the fact the holder for economic Development, Carlo Calenda, responds dryly, remembering the skeletons in the closet German: “Think of Volkswagen”.

To turn on the dust was a interview of the minister of the transports German, Alexander Dobrindt: “The Italian authorities knew for months that the Fca, in the opinion of our experts, used to devices off illegal,” he said in an interview with the Bild on Sonntag reported by Bloomeberg, referring to the hypothesis of a use of the software irregular for the emissions test. Dobrindt stresses that Fca has “refused to clarify” and that the Eu commission “must, consequently, ensure the recall of some models.

“Berlin, if you are in charge of Volkswagen, not a penny of damage”, he replied Calenda in the margin of the registration of face to Face conducted by Giovanni Minoli, broadcast in the evening on La7. On the automaker’s Italian-american, and the clash with the Us authorities, he underlined that “the agencies Use are usually quite independent. But now I don’t know, you have to see the cards”. The owner of the Development has also touched other issues of the industrial heat of the moment: the clash Mediaset-Vivendi has reiterated that “Italy is not the Country to the raids of the foreign”, while on the Alitalia he warned: “We are careful to talk about government takeover. When he was in the State, has been poorly managed and is now a private company”. On the proposal launched by the president of Abi, Antonio Patuelli, to reveal the names of the major credi tors of insolvent of banks, finally, Calenda, is sceptical: “The entrepreneur is going to ask for money to a bank, who must understand the business plan. It’s a bit strange – stressed – then move the burden on the debtor. The point is that if you are collusion, these must be published and declared”.

Returning to the case of Fca, already on Friday, the Italian government, by the voice of the deputy minister Riccardo Nencini, had called it “incomprehensible” the insistence of the German government views “the answers already obtained from the Mit”. For its part, the Commission, through a spokesman, always on Friday had made it known that he was “running out of time” for the Italian authorities to give the explanations required by the european Commission on the protest of approval of a model of the Fiat raised last September by the German minister of transport, noting that “the Commission’s powers are limited” because it can act if a member State does not comply with the european rules, but not directly against a car manufacturer.

“Are the member states to be responsible for the certification of the car” for their entry in the european market, “in this context – had added the spokesperson of the Commission – Germany has raised serious concerns about the compatibility of a model of Fiat with the european legislation on the emissions from cars. What the Italian authorities dispute. Germany has asked to intervene in what we call a process of mediation, which is an effort to find a common agreement. We have repeatedly requested the Italian authorities to present convincing explanations and we are running out of time, because we want to conclude very soon negotiations on the compatibility of the Fiat with the Eu law”. The minister Graziano Delrio Corriere della Sera, he wanted to emphasize the position of the Fca is different from that of the Volkswagen travolta in September 2015 from its dieselgate, and provides: “The emissions are stringent, t ransparent. And, above all, we believe that go is not only controlled downstream but also upstream”.

again from the financial agency of the Usa, which shows in this case, the statements in Le Journal Du Dimanche, is that, in France, other automakers could be sued for the emissions in diesel engines. He explained to the French minister for the Environment, Ségolène Royal, after the French courts have announced investigations on Renault. “And it was discovered a number of anomalies on a vehicle-the Renault – said Royal in the interview – this is also the case of other manufacturers, even if at a different level. Then there may be other investigations”.
