[01] Council of State declines injunctions requested by Alpha, Star and
ITV CP
The Council of State (CoS) plenum, Greece's supreme administrative court,
on Tuesday threw out three petitions for injunctions filed in connection
with a television content licence tender procedure. The injunctions had
been filed by the television stations Alpha, Star and Cyprus-based ITV
CP against each other.
The decision was reached in a session with CoS President Nikolaos
Sakellariou presiding and the reasoning behind the decision will be
published over the coming days.
[02] Parliament approves transfer of state's 5 pct stake in OTE to
privatisation agency
Parliament approved an amendment which transfers five percent of the
State's share in telecom company OTE to the country's privatization
agency, a prior action required for the disbursement of the final
sub-tranche of Greece's loan.
The amendment was included in a draft bill on the Greek Institution of
Research and Innovation. The Greek state will retain a remaining one
percent stake. OTE is 40 percent owned and managed by Deutsche Telekom.
