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 for $111 billion, contingent on commitments to address competition concerns. However, legal challenges remain in the U.S. and the UK. Paramount will divest its stake in United International Pictures and refrain from new agreements with Universal for ten years. The Commission believes sufficient competition will persist in the European market despite the merger. Paramount welcomed the decision, arguing it counters claims made by U.S. state attorneys general opposing the merger, which is temporarily suspended by a federal judge in the U.S.
