(ANSA) - Berlin, January 16 - A German transport ministry
spokesperson said Monday the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)
models that Germany wants the EU to ensure a recall of over
alleged emissions violations are the Fiat 500, the Doblò and the
Jeep-Renegade.

recalls at the weekend after authorities in the United States
last week accused FCA of emissions breaches.
FCA has denied any wrongdoing.
A spokesperson for European Industry Commissioner Lucia
Caudet said Monday that the EU executive was waiting for Italy
to give answers about Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) emissions.
"We have repeatedly asked Italy to present us with convincing
responses as soon as possible," the spokesperson said,
commenting non the process of mediation between Italy and
Germany over the Fiat 500X's compatibility with European
car-emission legislation.
"Time is running out because we want to conclude the
discussions on the Fiat's conformity shortly".
The European Commission could take action, including the
opening of an infringement procedure, if Italy fails to give a
response as part of the mediation process with Germany over the
Fiat 500X's emissions, EU sources said Monday.
The European Commission is trying to set a date for a meeting
with the two sides early in February because it intends to wrap
up the dossier within weeks, the sources said.
