WRONG!
The main reason they are in Romania?
FIAT had a big manufacturing presence in Romania from the time of the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, then FIAT got into trouble, Campy then saw the opportunity to take over a defunct FIAT factory and the relatively cheap labor (as compared to Italy). This is the main reason they are in Romania. Also, the car FIAT was manufacturing in Romania was a piece of s**t. And the labor pool was problematic. Think alcoholism on a huge scale.
