Opel’s Nick Reilly today revealed details of Opel’s long-awaited business plan. Here are the highlights (and low points) as reported by Automobilwoche [sub].

* 8300 jobs in Europe will be lost. 7000 of them blue color, 1300 white color. 50 percent of them in Germany. Belgium will lose 2,377 jobs, Spain 900 jobs, more than 500 are slated to be cut in Britain.
* Antwerp will be closed.
* Production of transmissions in Bochum (1,800 jobs) and Rüsselsheim (862 jobs) will be stopped and “partially” moved to other Opel plants.
* Production capacity of Opel will be reduced by 20 percent.
* Eisenach, which was on the list of endangered species, will lose only 300 jobs.
* By 2014, Opel wants to have renewed 80 percent of its portfolio of cars. 2010 will see 8 new product launches, amongst them the Meriva, Corsa, Movano and Astra Sports Tourer. Four more will follow in 2011.
* Until 2014, Opel wants to invest €11b into new development, especially into alternative power trains. Apart from the previously announced Volt-clone Ampera there will be another range-extended vehicle and some smaller pure plug-ins.
* Opel is seeking €2.7b in government support. €1.5b of the aid is supposed to come from Germany, reports the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
* The restructuring plan requires €3.3b. Of this, GM has already paid $600m. Furthermore, GM has prepaid €650m for engineering work, reports the Swiss magazine Cash. Translation: GM won’t sink another dime into Opel. Possibly, they want some money back.
* According to the plan, Opel will stop losing money in 2011, and will start making money in 2012.

This plan, especially the last point, will receive heavy scrutiny in the next days and weeks. One tough question that will be asked: Where does Opel want to find the €11b for new investments if the severance package for the fired workers will eat up most of the €2.7 in government aid – if there will be any or enough government aid?

German Economy Minister Rainer Brüderle and British Business Minister Peter Mandelson had said at a joint press conference last Friday that they would “carefully consider” any appeal for aid immediately after a business plan had been presented. German politicians are on record that they want GM to put “a lot of money”on the table before state aid would be considered. That money is nowhere to be found in the plan presented. The unions have already said that they vehemently oppose Reilly’s plan.

Here are the first reactions to Nick Reilly’s turn-around and begging plan for Opel. In one word: “Booooh!”

Roland Koch, Premier of Hesse, where Opel has its headquarters, where most of Opel’s jobs and countless suppliers are, should be most interested in the survival. What was his reaction? “According to our first assessment, it will be necessary that GM as the owner will increase its contribution considerably,” he said to Das Autohaus. Translation: “Put money on the table. Then we talk.”

Little know factoid: In 2008, Opel was the 7th largest employer in Hesse, followed by Volkswagen, only 2,800 jobs behind Opel, most in a parts factory and distribution center in structurally weak Kassel. When Opel has finished its reduction in force plan, VW will provide more jobs to the state than Opel. Koch knows which side his bread is buttered.

The unions, which should be most interested in preserving jobs, shot down the plan outright.“We will not support this plan, especially not with contributions from our side,” said Armin Schild, IG Metall union leader and member of Opel’s supervisory board. His union brother Oliver Burkhard, leader of IG Metall in North Rhine Westphalia, where Opel has the Bochum plant, said outright that there should be no government support for the plan.

If there is no agreement between management and unions, there will be no government money. Said Kurt Beck, Premier of Rhineland Palatinate, where Opel has a plant in Kaiserslautern: “There must be agreement between the workers and management.” Otherwise, no government money.

Peace with the unions is just as remote as more money from parent GM. Forget about any Detroit dollars, says Reilly: “Opel is a European company.” (Are you sure, Nick? Ask Whitacre.) “GM needs its money to repay the loans of the Canadian and U.S. governments.”

Even on the outside chance that peace breaks out between Reilly and the unions, and that Detroit sends a big check to Rüsselsheim, government support needs to overcome nasty regulatory hurdles. The Opel money would have to come from the so-called “Deutschlandfonds,” a fund created to rescue companies that became a victim of the recent recession. Die Welt names the two essential criteria: A valid business plan. And the company must have been viable before July 2008. Ouch on both counts. Says the Süddeutsche Zeitung: “Experts doubt that Opel meets the criteria.”

Finally, any government aid must pass the scrutiny of Brussels. The EU will be on the lookout for any jobs-for-aid deals. And why give aid if it doesn’t save jobs?

Also, Europe has bigger problems than saving a damsel in distress that had refused to be saved before. All eyes are on Greece and how it could blow the Euro to smithereens. Once Greece is taken care of, attention will shift to what is called the “Club Med” of EU countries, Spain, Italy, Portugal that are facing financial meltdown. Opel has turned into a simple distraction.

Some hints to the commentariat: GM doesn’t have to take all the intellectual property out of Opel and move it elsewhere. Already done. Opel’s IP has been sold to a General Motors company, conveniently located in Delaware. Opel and any other GM companies pay license fees for their use. A common tax dodge, used to run up costs and to expatriate money without paying taxes in a high tax country such as Germany. Stripping Opel of assets and then taking Opel BK? Dangerous if done in Germany. You can go to jail for it.
