Germany to bear brunt of Opel cuts

General Motors said on the 25 November 2009 that Germany would suffer 50 to 60% of the job cuts it was planning at its European Opel-Vauxhall business.

Nick Reilly, head of GM’s international operations, also said the Detroit carmaker would set up a working group on its plant in Antwerp, Belgium, whose future was 'uncertain'.
