Fiat, Marchionne: "Without clear rules, Sevel will be our last investment in Italy"

Before new investments in Italy, clear rules are needed. To say it is the CEO of Fiat Sergio Marchionne during his speech at the Sevel plant in Val di Sangro where, for the restyling of the Duchy, the Lingotto invested over 700 million euros: "Before starting any other initiative in Italy we need to be able to count on the certainty of management and on Of a clear and reliable regulatory framework“, Marchionne said, and then added that “we need to know that the agreements are respected, that the freedom of negotiation and the freedom to do business are recognized and protected”.

Also during the same speech, Marchionne said he was ready to meet Fiom, but not to question the existing agreements: “We are more than willing to meet them even if there is a firm point. We cannot call into question the existing agreements which are the basis of the recovery of important factories".

Meanwhile, the order collection for the new bond launched in the morning by Fiat. The pool of banks (made up of Bnp Paribas, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Natixis, SocGen and UniCredit) which is handling the operation has already collected orders of around 2 billion euros.

As regards, however, another of the hot fronts on which Lingotto is operating, i.e. the RCS affair, the Antitrust has opened a file on the purchase of the shares by Fiat, even if at the moment, clarifies the president of the Authority Giovanni Pitruzzella, "the dossier is for information purposes only".

At the end of the morning, the Fiat share gained 0,63% in Piazza Affari, at 5,575 euros per share.
