itself to allay regulator concerns if the French media group retained a significant influence at the Italian broadcaster, a source close to the matter said on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">The source added that Vivendi&#8217;s plan to place a stake of 20 percent in Mediaset in a blind trust was seen as a good solution as long as those shares can never be used by the French group to vote at shareholder meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

Italia was in breach of rules designed to prevent a concentration of power in the country&#8217;s telecoms and media sector and asked the French group to reduce one of the holdings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Vivendi is the biggest single shareholder in Telecom Italia, with 24 percent, and also owns 29 percent of Mediaset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica,
