German govt seen warming to RHJ bid

FRANKFURT: The German government might drop its opposition to Belgian-based financial investor RHJ International as a buyer for General Motors' European unit Opel, Bild newspaper reported yesterday.

Berlin could be willing to accept RHJ if it teamed up with an international partner from the car industry, the mass-selling daily said, without saying where it obtained the information.

Germany's Economy Ministry was not immediately available for comment.
