The German economics ministry may send a team to the U.S. for
negotiations over the future of General Motors Corp.'s (GM) German
unit Adam Opel AG if bidders' plans for the German carmaker are
reasonable, a ministry spokeswoman told Dow Jones Newswires
Monday.
"If the concepts that will be presented until Wednesday appear
to be reasonable, the federal ministry of economics will send a
negotiation team to the U.S.," said ministry spokeswoman Beatrix
Brodkorb. "The economics minister keeps the option open to possibly
intervene in the negotiations personally."
