There is currently no basis yet for talks about Spain's contribution of financial aid for Austrian-Canadian car-parts maker Magna International Inc. (MGA) in its move to take over carmaker Adam Opel GmbH because the industrial plan has priority and it isn't yet viable, Spanish Industry Minister Miguel Sebastian said Friday.

"The industrial dimension is prior to any discussion about financial support," Sebastian told reporters.

He said, "we are not at this stage yet" to talk about European governments' aid to a European Opel company.

He also said that Magna must provide a long-term goal for the Spanish plant in Figueruelas, near Saragossa. He said Spain would be willing for short-term sacrifices if the long-term goal is convincing.

His comments come after Sebastian met with Magna's Co-Chief Executive Siegfried Wolf in Berlin earlier Friday.

Some European countries in which Opel factories are located will meet Friday in Berlin with German government officials to discuss their potential aid contributions to Magna in its bid to take over Opel, a unit of General Motors Co.
