Hersant attacks Edipresse at the Weko

Publishers The Hersant Group is complaining to the Competition Commission (ComCo) about its competitor Edipresse, which is in breach of the conditions imposed by the ComCo on the takeover of the Corbaz Group at the end of 2002, La Liberté quotes from a letter from Hersant. Firstly, Edipresse has still not reduced its share of votes in Rhône Média Valais below 33 percent. Secondly, by creating the Vaud-TV network, it has broken its commitment not to seek control over the local station Ici-TV. Hersant therefore sees reason to revoke the takeover license.
