MILAN (AP) — Italy has opened an administrative procedure against China’s Sinochem, the largest shareholder in Italian tiremaker Pirelli, for a possible breach of restrictions designed to protect national strategic assets.
米兰(美联社)——意大利对中国中化集团(意大利轮胎制造商倍耐力的最大股东)提起行政诉讼,理由是中化集团可能违反了旨在保护国家战略资产的限制。
Pirelli announced Wednesday that the procedure was launched under the so-called “golden power” provisions, which include restrictions to the access of some information and higher vote thresholds for strategic decisions, invoked by the Rome government in mid-2023.
倍耐力周三宣布,这一程序是根据所谓的“黄金权力”条款启动的,其中包括限制获取某些信息和提高战略决策的投票门槛,意大利政府在2023年中期援引了这一条款。
Pirelli said Sinochem, which controls a 37% stake in the company, has denied any violations of the restrictions, adding the Italian government had 120 days to issue a finding.
倍耐力说,中化集团否认有任何违反限制的行为,并称意大利政府有120天的时间发布调查结果。中化集团持有倍耐力37%的股份。
In announcing the golden power provision, the government cited the sensitivity of sensors implanted in tires that can collect data such as road layouts, geolocation and the state of infrastructure, making it of a “critical technology of nationalstrategic importance.”
政府在发表“黄金权力”时,指出了可以收集道路布局、地理位置、基础设施状况等数据的轮胎传感器的灵敏度,是“具有国家战略意义的关键技术”。
The tiremaker’s second-largest investor is Camfin, the investment vehicle of Pirelli’s former CEO and current executive vice-chairman Marco Tronchetti Provera, which holds a 32.4% stake.
这家轮胎制造商的第二大投资者是Camfin,它是倍耐力前首席执行官、现任执行副主席马尔科•特隆凯蒂•普罗维拉的投资工具,持有倍耐力32.4%的股份。
