"The biggest concern is the protection of jobs and I hope that Stellantis can continue to produce cars in Italy, electric or hybrid: it is important that Italy can continue to be the second largest manufacturer in Europe": thus the Minister of Foreign Antonio Tajani at an event in the Milan area.
"We need to have a European industrial policy and have an Italian industrial policy that fits well into European industrial policy - adds the minister -. We are trying to make an industrial policy in a complicated moment and the question of the electric car and Stellantis must fit into this theme."
According to the head of the Farnesina, the problem must be addressed on a broader scale: "I have always been a supporter of electric cars since I was European Commissioner for Industry", he continues.
"Today the market is not so sensitive to electric cars. We must obviously not push too hard on the accelerator. We have seen what risks happening with the new community regulations which impose the construction of only electric cars starting from 2035. In Italy - he concludes Tajani - we risk losing 70 thousand jobs, so we also need to reflect on the production of electric cars".
