UE aprobă preluarea Warner Bros. Discovery de către Paramount, însă tranzacția rămâne blocată în SUA

The European Commission has approved Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, valued at $111 billion, with conditions to address competition concerns. Paramount must divest its stake in United International Pictures and refrain from new agreements with Universal for ten years. Despite this approval, the merger faces legal challenges in the U.S. and U.K. A federal judge has temporarily suspended the transaction due to a lawsuit from California's attorney general and others, citing antitrust violations. Paramount aims to finalize the deal in Q3 of this year.
