lpv:spoken text	"Taking your last question first, of course I am happy to give you all my correspondence with Chancellor Merkel. There is no problem about that. Having said this, we organised two meetings before the German elections with all the countries involved with General Motors/Opel, and yesterday we organised the third one. It was the third ministerial meeting on Opel organised by the Commission, and the first since General Motors decided not to sell Opel. Other than being a facilitator, mainly by ensuring that all stakeholders have the same information, the Commission will continue to ensure that internal market and State aid rules will be respected. This is very important to avoid a ruinous race to subsidies between Member States which will, in the end, benefit no one. But the ball now is clearly in GM’s court. Indeed only after the GM business plan is known, and our Member States might be willing to provide State aid, can the Commission assess whether competition rules are being respected. We cannot act on suppositions. Only in the face of business plans can we say whether they are or are not compatible with our Community rules."@en1
