Corus set to agree £5bn Tata takeover

By Peter Marsh in London and Joe Leahy in Mumbai Published: Financial Times

October 20 2006

Corus, the Anglo-Dutch steelmaker, is today expected to agree to a £5.1bn takeover by India's Tata Steel in a deal that

would create the world's sixth-biggest steel producer.The move will throw down the gauntlet to any potential counter-bidders for Corus - Europe's second-biggest

producer. Novolipetsk and Severstal, two Russian steel companies, and CSN, a Brazilian steelmaker, are thought by

some industry observers to be interested in making a counterbid. All three have declined to comment.

Postal services: Commission proposes full market opening by 2009

The European Commission has put forward a proposal to open EU postal markets fully to competition by 2009, in line with the agreed target date set out in the current Postal Directive. On the basis of extensive research, the Commission believes that this is the best way to maintain universal service  while further improving quality and choice for EU consumers and businesses. Full market opening will mean that national operators will no longer have a monopoly on mail below a certain weight (currently a maximum of 50 grams), known as the 'reserved area'. Member States will be allowed a flexible choice of means to finance universal service provision or the possibility to share out the universal service obligation between operators. The proposal provides further clarification on how this can be achieved. The proposed new Directive is the final step in a long reform process that has already seen large areas of EU postal markets opened to competition, with very positive results.

Thank you
