In France, regulator faces a test: tough ruling issued in takeover battle may be dropped

Article Abstract:

Sanctions placed on Spanish construction firm Sacyr Vallehermoso S.A. by France's financial markets authority, the Autorite des marches Financiers, may be abandoned if Sacyr sells its 33.32% stake in French rival Effiage. The move by Sacyr, however, would still leave open legal questions regarding France's laws governing takeover bids.
