PARIS -- France has not attached any major conditions to a 5 billion euro ($5.6 billion) state-backed loan for Renault, the company's chairman, Jean-Dominique Senard, said on Tuesday.
Renault last week unveiled plans to cut about 15,000 jobs worldwide, including 4,600 in France where the automaker will seek voluntary departures and use retirement schemes.
The announcement sparked weekend protests at some factories, including at Maubeuge in northern France, although Senard has said the site will not be closed.
Finance minister Bruno Le Maire said on Tuesday that the government wanted Renault's northern France sites to become "centers of excellence."
Senard also told franceinfo radio that Renault aimed to present a new strategic plan, including the vision for its brands, by the end of the year, after former Volkswagen Group executive Luca de Meo becomes CEO on July 1.
