Evaluate the entry of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti into the Stellantis group to offset the shareholding of the automotive group in which the former Fiat entered France. This is suggested by Copasir (Parliamentary Committee for the Safety of the Republic) in its Annual Report, in which it is emphasized that the automotive sector must be “safeguarded”.
The ecological transition, «also in consideration of the decisions taken at EU level – reads the Copasir document – is affecting the automotive sector, whose production chain is among the most important in the Italian industrial panorama. The ever-widening diffusion of electric cars will have a significant impact on production processes, leading to the significant downsizing, if not abandonment, of some industrial lines of the related related industries “.
Risky ecological transition
The transition process, the report continues, “must therefore take place in a non-traumatic manner, taking into account the specificities of this industrial sector, the effects of which, in the employment and economic sphere of our country, are very significant”.
The automotive sector, the Copasir document points out, «has already been affected by the story of the constitution of the new European group Stellantis, born from the merger of the French Psa group and the Italian Fiat group. As a result of this operation, there is a shift in the control center of the newly formed group on the French side, with already evident repercussions in the related sector connected with the production lines of the Italian factories “.
Center of gravity too French for Stellantis
According to Copasir, “it should be noted that the stake held by the French public shareholder increased after the merger operation, resulting in a different distribution of ownership from that previously announced”.
