EU policymakers meet with General Motors executives in Brussels

European Union officials met with senior executives of US carmaker General Motors in Brussels on Friday to discuss a coordinated European approach to saving the company's operations in several EU countries. With hundred of thousands of jobs at stake, GM is seeking European state aid to rescue its European business, which includes Germany's Opel and UK division Vauxhall. GM has plants in Belgium, Britain, Germany, Poland, Spain and Sweden, and many other European countries are home to autopart suppliers.
