PROPOSED MERGER
TF1 AND M6
GROUPS: FRENCH COMPETITION AUTHORITY’S
INVESTIGATION TEAMS ISSUE REPORT
The French Competition Authority’s investigation teams have
issued their report on the proposed merger between the TF1 group
and the M6 group.
In their report, which in no way predicts the final decision of
the authority’s board, the investigation teams consider that the
deal raises a number of significant competition concerns
(especially in relation to the advertising market). The nature and
extent of the remedies required in the report would mean that the
merger plans would no longer be meaningful for the parties involved
and they would therefore abandon them.
The parties, who do not intend to make any changes to their
original plans, will inform the authority of their response within
the next three weeks; hearings will take place before the French
competition authority’s board on 5 and 6 September.
