The European Commission gave the green light to Vivendi's takeover bid for Lagardère. The group (Canal+, Hava Media...) controlled by the Bolloré family can officially seize (at a price of 24.10 euros per share) the jewels of Arnaud Lagardere.

These three activities had a turnover of 7 billion euros last year. In this lying poker game between Vivendi, the European regulators, and the many contenders who hoped to recover some assets in the battle, the Breton patriarch was finally forced to sell Editis.
