A case of the DTs

Article Abstract:

Privatization has spread from UK to continental Europe over recent years, but there are now indications that future privatizations may encounter difficulties. The easy privatizations have been completed, and now European governments must handle more complex deals. Privatization has a generally poor image in Europe, and this will make it hard to sell off remaining state assets. It is vital that privatization does not fail if Europe is to shake off the burden of weak state firms.

The tyranny of the party line: European telecoms

Article Abstract:

The privatization of Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom may not be as profitable as anticipated. In relation to other privatized telecom companies such as British Telecom, these two will have great competition because data-transmission and cellular markets already have an open market there.

Polish off the family silver: European privatisation

Article Abstract:

Privatization of European companies went much slower in 1995 than expected, with less than half of the expected $50 billion in sales being raised. Still the outlook for 1996 and the next few years is very optimistic, as sales of $250-300 billion have been estimated.
