The French Cabinet approved a plan to transform the state-owned car maker Renault into a limited liability company, involving a write-off of $2 billion in debt and no more Government subsidies. A Government spokesman said the bill would be discussed in Parliament this autumn. The Government announced last week that it was writing off 12 billion francs (about $2 billion), or nearly a quarter of Renault's debt. The decision was attacked by Renault's domestic rival, Peugeot, which complained that the Government had been too generous to Renault and that the latest move could jeopardize fair competition.
