This was stated by the Minister for Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, at the end of the automotive table. “We are fully aware that a European industrial policy is absolutely necessary today more than ever to respond both to the challenge of the great oriental producers of China and India, and above all to the one they have recently put in place in the United States with significant help in subsidies and incentives to their auto industry“, says the minister.
“For this – adds Urso – it is absolutely an agreement is needed in Europe with the other major manufacturing countries, i.e. with France, with Germany, with which Italy must set up together with the Commission an active, proactive policyto allow those who want to invest in our continent to be able to do so, to produce and therefore to create added value and consequently employment, this is what modern times impose on us”.
