France and Germany share common issues about the influence on jobs from PSA Group’s proposed tied-up with General Motor’s Opel unit, the two nations’ economy ministers stated on Wednesday after talks in Paris.
French Economy Minister Michel Sapin stated it remained in the interest of Peugeot-maker PSA that Opel’s autonomy is fully protected in the deal.
His German equivalent, Brigitte Zypries, stated that the concern for Germany was that Opel’s production and research and development venues were kept going.
