Scandal issues, Berlin asks the hard punch on the Fca – The Republic

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. “The Italian authorities knew for months that the Fca, in the opinion of our experts, used to devices off of the illegal,” she says in an interview with the Bild on Sonntag as reported by Bloomeberg the minister of transport, German Alexander Dobrindt, 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 th e Eu commission “must, consequently, ensure the recall of some models.

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”. Words that arrive while the minister Graziano Delrio, the Corriere della Sera explains how 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, transpare nt. 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 that 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”.
