Fiat SpA's (F.MI) bid for General Motors Corp.'s (GM) German
unit Adam Opel is "more complex" than the one involving the Italian
car maker and Chrysler, as there are elections in Germany, said
Italian Industry Minister Claudio Scajola Saturday.
The issues over the Fiat bid that make it more complex are this
year's "elections in Germany," Scajola said at a press conference
on energy in Rome.
Scajola also told reporters the government plans to meet Fiat
officials in the "coming" days over the future of its Italian
plants should the Opel bid succeed.
