In the publishing world, the news was eagerly awaited. The European Commission announced on Tuesday October 31 that it had given its approval to the acquisition by Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky of the French group Editis, sold by the Vivendi group.
In its notification, the Commission explains that the 25% stake of the Czech Media Invest (CMI) group, held by Daniel Kretinsky, in Fnac-Darty, does not pose a competition problem in the context of this acquisition.
