PARMALAT, GOVERNMENT AGAINST LACTALIS: "DEFEND THE ITALIAN '

After the surprise move by Lactalis, who last night announced that it has 11, 4 % of Parmalat and be ready to rise again, politics and trade unions today called for more voices to the defense of the italianity Collecchio: the acute fear that it might pass in French hands another piece of strong brands Made in Italy known throughout the world. So much so that the government itself decided to take the field. After the passage of the Bulgarian French giant LVMH, efforts to Groupama Premafin and with the risk Edison runs out in full in the hands of EDF, the government announced countermeasures to defend the Italian companies by the advance of France. In the meeting at Palazzo Chigi between Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti, the undersecretary to the Prime Minister Gianni Letta and the French Ambassador to Italy, Jean-Marc de La Sabliere, the government informed the ambassador on the intention to adopt quickly a measure to protect Italian companies operating in strategic sectors such as energy. Under the lens in particular the dossier Edison and Parmalat. In 'waiting, looming battle to win the last action the board of Parmalat: the last date of submission In fact, four of the lists that next April 14 will contest the 11 seats on the board. After 20% of the shares traded on the stock market in the last three trading sessions, today was again a day of intense exchanges, with 6% changed hands. And there have until April 1 to buy shares useful for attending the meeting. Yesterday, the deadline for filing its lists, the sides were outlined for the control of Parmalat. Intesa Sanpaolo, which has only formally on its 2.14%, to reapply the current Enrico Bondi and the renewal of the board shall prepare a list of top-level names, including Luigi Gubitosi (for Wind), Roberto Meneguzzo (Palladio Finanziaria ), Annamaria Artois (Chairman of Confindustria Emilia Romagna) Patrick Grieco (Olivetti) and Elio Catania (ex IBM, ex Fs, the current president Atm Milano). "The presentation of our list is a contribution to finding a long-term industrial project in the interest of the shareholders of Parmalat, but also the country," said the chief executive of Intesa Sanpaolo, Corrado Passera. Labour Minister Maurizio Sacconi has called on Italians to come forward and propose to the end. The solution that might give substance to these claims would be to promote tender offer with one or more Italian industrial groups. In this regard there has been talk of a possible business combination with Granarolo, Intesa Sanpaolo is a shareholder in 19%. What is learned from financial sources, the institute led by Corrado Passera is therefore to work in search of a 'white knight' to realize the operation. Among the names that you make is also that of Ferrero, which may have been approached, like other professionals, to set up an Italian consortium. To compete directly with Intesa Sanpaolo there are foreign funds Mackenzie, Skagen and Zenit (which hold over 15% of Parmalat), whose list of 11 names at the top sees Rainer Masera (to be proposed as chairman) and Massimo Rossi (to be proposed as Interim CEO). And, indeed, Lactalis, which filed for its latest list of 11 names headed by Antonio Hall (top manager of the French group in Italy) and which are part of the Francesco Tato and others, Riccardo Zingales. The funds belonging to Assogestioni, bringing together a 2.28%, have submitted their list of nominating minority leaders Gaetano Mele (for Lavazza), followed by William Cooper and Nigel Paolo Dal Pino (ex to Wind). The three foreign funds for their candidate's mouth at the head of Parmalat, Massimo Rossi, they have the distances marked by Lactalis profess themselves advocates of independence and Italy's Parmalat and Lactalis would have a different project.
