Time Warner, EMI look to retune joint venture plan

Article Abstract:

Time Warner and EMI are planning a new merger plan that both companies say would be accepted by the European Commission Merger Task Force. Both companies abandoned a previous merger deal on Oct 5, 2000, over concerns that the task force would reject the deal since it might give Warner and EMI too much control over the prices and distribution of music recordings. EMI Group Chmn Eric Nicoli said a deal with Warner would provide the best opportunity for cost savings for the company.
