增加了背景
MILAN, Dec 23 (Reuters) - An Italian administrative court has annulled a watchdog ruling capping the stake of French media giant Vivendi VIV.PA in Mediaset MS.MI, a court document showed, in a blow to the broadcaster run by ex-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's family.
路透米兰12月23日电- - -意大利一家行政法院已撤销监管机构对法国媒体巨头Vivendi VIV持股上限的裁决。一份法庭文件显示,米小姐在Mediaset电视台工作,这对前总理西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼(Silvio Berlusconi)的家人经营的这家电视台是一个打击。
Vivendi and Mediaset have been at odds since 2016 when the French group ditched an accord to buy Mediaset's pay-TV unit and built a 29% stake that the Italian group considers hostile.
自2016年起,Vivendi和Mediaset就一直不和,当时这家法国集团放弃了收购Mediaset付费电视业务的协议,并持有该公司29%的股份,而Mediaset认为这是敌意。
Vivendi was forced to transfer two thirds of its voting rights in Mediaset into a trust after Italy's communications regulator ruled in 2017 that Vivendi's stakes in Mediaset and in Telecom Italia (TIM) TLIT.Mi ran counter to laws protecting media plurality.
2017年,意大利通信监管机构裁定,威望迪在Mediaset和意大利电信(Telecom Italia) TLIT的股权被剥夺后,威望迪被迫将其在Mediaset的三分之二投票权转让给一家信托公司。我违反了保护媒体多元性的法律。
The French group is TIM's biggest shareholder with a 23.9% stake and Mediaset's second-largest with a 28.8% holding although its voting rights in the broadcaster have been reduced to 10%.
这家法国集团是蒂姆的最大股东,持有23.9%的股份,是Mediaset的第二大股东,持有28.8%的股份,尽管其在广播公司的投票权已经减少到10%。
Following a favourable ruling by the European Union's top court, Vivendi has been seeking to regain voting rights for its full stake in Mediaset, asking the Italian administrative court TAR del Lazio to annul AGCOM restrictions.
在欧盟最高法院做出有利裁决后,Vivendi一直在寻求重新获得其在Mediaset的全部股权的投票权,并请求意大利行政法院撤销对AGCOM的限制。
Mediaset declined to comment on the court document seen by Reuters on Wednesday. A legal source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mediaset will appeal the decision.
Mediaset拒绝对路透周三看到的法庭文件置评。一位不愿透露姓名的法律消息人士表示,Mediaset将对这一裁决提起上诉。
Vivendi was not immediately available to comment.
记者未能立即联系到威望迪置评。
