Germany set to take brunt of Opel job cuts

FRANKFURT Nov 25 (Reuters) - Germany will take the brunt of the roughly 9,000 job cuts that General Motors [GM.UL] envisions as it reorganises its European arm Opel, GM's acting head of European operations told reporters on Wednesday.

Nick Reilly originally said around half of the cuts were earmarked for Germany, then added: "I would change that to probably between 50 and 60 percent."

He said no final decisions had been made before consultations with Opel labour leaders wrap up next month, adding the future of the Opel plant in Antwerp, Belgium, was "uncertain".
