(ANSA) - TURIN, DECEMBER 27 - "It wasn't an easy decision, I've always done my best in these years, which have been extraordinary. However, I made the decision (to resign, ed.) being completely convinced and in complete serenity.
Personally I think we did well and the findings are not justified, also supported by the in-depth analysis made by independent experts".
Thus Andrea Agnelli, at the shareholders' meeting.
"I decided to take a step back," he explained, "so that one could not think that the choices could be even partially conditioned by my personal involvement".
