Poland blocks takeover of media group Eurozet by peer Agora
Poland’s anti-monopoly watchdog UOKiK blocked the takeover of media group Eurozet by one of Poland’s largest media companies, the Warsaw-listed Agora, UOKiK said on January 7. The decision was strongly criticised by Agora, which is the publisher of opposition daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
The takeover would have led to the creation of a duopoly of Poland’s two main radio companies – Eurozet and RMF FM – which would have a market share of 70%, UOKiK said. That could limit competition in radio advertising and radio broadcasting markets, it added.
Eurozet runs five radio stations in Poland, including the flagship Radio Zet, a number of websites, as well as an advertising company and an event marketing service. Agora owns Gazeta Wyborcza and several radio stations and offers advertising and marketing services.
