BERLIN, Nov 22 (Reuters) – The negative court ruling on German finances last week could cost Intel billions of euros in subsidies for planned chip-making plants in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the state economy minister was quoted as saying by magazine WirtschaftsWoche.

Berlin had agreed subsidies worth nearly 10 billion euros with the U.S. chipmaker, a person familiar with the matter had told Reuters when Intel announced its plans.

« When Germany cannot afford such future projects like Intel anymore, then the economic damage will be enormous and the image damage gigantic, » Sven Schulze, economy minister of Saxony-Anhalt was quoted as saying.
