GE says talks with France on Alstom productive, to boost jobs

The head of General Electric said on Wednesday that talks with the French government on its offer for Alstom's energy assets had been "productive" and expressed confidence it would go through despite a potential rival offer from Germany's Siemens. "We think we've got a good deal and it's going to be executed," Chief Executive Jeff Immelt told reporters.
