PSA Group's Chief Executive Officer has asked for a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May on the planned acquisition of General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall operations, a spokesman for the French carmaker said on Saturday. "Carlos Tavares has asked to meet Theresa May," the spokesman said. Talks on a sale of GM's European arm to PSA were confirmed by both companies on Tuesday, raising concerns in London and Berlin over possible job cuts. Germany accounts for half of GM Europe's 38,000 staff, with 4,500 in Britain where the company operates under the Vauxhall brand.
