English to Spanish: GM, Renault-Nissan CEOs meet for alliance talks in Paris, agree to continue discussions Detailed field: Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Source text - English GM, Renault-Nissan CEOs meet for alliance talks in Paris, agree to continue discussions
PARIS (AP) _ General Motors Corp. Chief Executive Rick Wagoner and Carlos Ghosn, who heads Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co., met in Paris on Wednesday and agreed to continue discussions on a possible three-way global car making alliance despite signs the talks are running into difficulties.
¶ In a joint statement, the three companies said their negotiators "continue to explore the potential opportunities of an industrial alliance." GM shares rose more than 2 percent in morning trading. GM shares rose 2.3 percent, to $32.14 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange. That is near their 52-week high of $33.50.
¶ Renault and GM representatives declined to comment on whether the meeting had addressed differences between Ghosn and Wagoner over how much each side's shareholders would stand to benefit from an alliance.
¶ According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Wagoner is pressing Ghosn for a multibillion dollar payment to GM as part of any alliance deal, insisting that his shareholders would otherwise be shortchanged.
¶ Brian Akre, a spokesman for the U.S. automaker, declined to discuss the content of the talks but said that GM believed that "the benefit from the synergies that have been discussed are disproportionate."
¶ He added: "GM would be looking at ways to alleviate that concern. Speaking hypothetically, that could include a payment, that could include a number of different options."
¶ In July, Detroit-based GM, France's Renault and Japan's Nissan agreed to conduct a 90-day review of the potential benefits of an alliance that could create an auto giant with a combined annual production of 15 million vehicles.
¶ GM has been stumbling amid intense competition from Asian rivals. It has announced plans to close 12 plants by 2008, slash its work force and cut costs.

Translation - Spanish Analizan alianza GM-Renault-Nissan
PARIS (AP) _ El director de General Motors Corp. Rick Wagoner y su colega de la corporación automotriz Renault SA-Nissan Motor Co., Carlos Ghosn, se reunieron en París el miércoles y acordaron continuar sus negociaciones sobre una probable alianza tripartita pese a los indicios recientes de que sus charlas están tropezando.
¶ En un comunicado conjunto, las tres compañías dijeron que sus negociadores "continúan explorando las oportunidades potenciales de una alianza industrial". Las acciones de GM subían 2,3% en el intercambio bursátil matutino en la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York, a 32,14 dólares, cerca de su nivel más alto en 52 semanas, de 33,50 dólares.
¶ Los representantes de Renault y GM rechazaron hacer comentarios sobre si la reunión de directivos en París contempló las diferencias entre Ghosn y Wagoner sobre cuánto podrían beneficiarse sus respectivos accionistas de una alianza potencial.
¶ Según un reporte del diario The Wall Street Journal, Wagoner ha estado presionando a Ghosn para que se comprometa a hacer una inversión multimillonaria en General Motors como parte de cualquier alianza, insistiendo en que de otra manera los accionistas se sentirían decepcionados.
¶ Brian Akre, portavoz de GM, el mayor fabricante automotor del mundo, se negó a hablar sobre el contenido de las conversaciones, pero dijo que GM cree que "los beneficios de las sinergías que se han estado analizando son desproporcionados".
¶ "GM estaría trabajando en los medios para aliviar esa preocupación. Hablando hipotéticamente, eso podría incluir un pago, que podría incluir varias opciones diferentes", agregó.
¶ En julio, la estadounidense GM, la francesa Renault y la japonesa Nissan convinieron en hacer un análisis de 90 días sobre los posibles beneficios de una alianza que crearía un gigante automotor mundial con una producción anual combinada de 15 millones de vehículos.
¶ GM ha estado sufriendo una intensa presión de los fabricantes asiáticos. Ha anunciado planes de cerrar 12 plantas para el 2008, además de reducir su planta laboral y costos.
