The report said GM will allow Opel access to all its proprietary rights but will request that Opel pays licence fees. Handelsbatt cited government sources.
The royalty fees amount to 5% of the annual revenue generated using GM-technologies, and the percentage will only be reduced for the transitional period between 2009 and 2015.
