The Spanish government is
"neutral" on Italian group Atlantia's takeover bid for Spain's
Abertis, Economy and Industry Minister Luis de Guindos said on
the sidelines of an Italy-Spain forum in Rome Monday, stressing
"there is a specific authority that will deal with the issue".
The Benetton family's Atlantia SpA is bidding to buy Abertis
Infraestructuras SA in a 16.3 billion-euro ($18 billion) offer
that would create the world's biggest operator of toll roads,
without the formal backing of its top investor, Criteria Caixa
SA.
