GM agreed to sell its Germany-based Opel unit, which employs 55,000 workers in Europe, to Magna International, a Canadian auto-parts company, and Sberbank, the largest bank in Russia.
Politicians in Belgium allege the Antwerp plant is more profitable than a German counterpart that has been spared, and are seeking an investigation if Germany sweetened the Magna deal in exchange for a promise to protect German jobs….The European Union's competition committee is now looking into Germany's role in the deal to determine if Berlin's lobbying broke EU antitrust regulations
