COMPANIES General Motors is looking at shelving a German-backed bail-out of its Opel European car arm amid growing fears that long-running talks on the deal will end in failure.
The US carmaker and its advisers are studying a scenario that would see GM abandon the German plan and instead raise roughly €3bn ($4.3bn) of rescue funds for Opel and its British Vauxhall brand from the US and other European governments, including the UK and Spain.
