A viable solution for General Motors Corp.'s (GM) European car
plants is in the common interest of all European Union countries,
E.U. ministers said Friday after meeting to coordinate plans on a
bail out for troubled GM unit Adam Opel GmbH.
The ministers agreed that E.U. rules ensuring a level-playing
field for companies throughout the 27-nation bloc must be fully
respected and national measures should not be taken without
coordination with other countries involved and with the European
Commission.
Industry ministers from 18 members states met with European
Commissioner for Industry Guenter Verheugen and Competition
Commissioner Neelie Kroes.
