MILAN, June 3 (Reuters) - Italy's government does not expect
to set guidelines for merger talks between Fiat Chrysler and
French rival Renault though it follows the deal closely and has
an interest in preserving jobs in the sector, Prime Minister
Giuseppe Conte said.
"It is not the government's task to steer the deal," Conte
told reporters on Monday on the sidelines of an event.
"But it's certainly the government's job to make sure
employment levels are preserved, including in satellite
activities which are fundamental. It's definitely something I
follow with great attention."
