A decision about possible German government help for General Motors Corp.'s (GM) German Opel unit will take weeks and no pre-committment for any decision has been made, Economic Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg said Friday after talks with officials from GM and Opel.

Speaking to reporters, zu Guttenberg also said there are still a number of outstanding questions which have to be answered.

"It was an open, good constructive talk," he said.

GM Europe Chief Executive Carl-Peter Forster, who attended the meeting, told reporters talks were constructive and there won't be a decision in the coming days.

Representatives at the meeting included GM's Chief Operating Officer Frederick "Fritz" Henderson, GM Europe's Forster, Opel Chief Executive Hans Demant, zu Guttenberg, head of the chancellery Thomas de Maiziere and Deputy Finance Minister Joerg Asmussen.
