09/04/2014 (Agence Europe) - European Commission gives green light to Discovery's acquisition of Eurosport. On Tuesday 8 April, the European Commission gave the go-ahead to the acquisition of Eurosport of France, by Discovery of the United States. Discovery is a global media entertainment company. Eurosport is a European sports television channel provider. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns because the parties only have moderate market shares on the markets for the acquisition of TV rights, wholesale TV channels and TV advertising, where their activities overlap.
