 | | FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany's cartel office has approved the takeover of newspaper publisher Berliner Verlag by a consortium of foreign investors, paving the way for a German daily to fall into foreign hands for the first time. |
 | | Berliner Verlag, publisher of the Berliner Zeitung as well as a few other papers and magazines, is being bought by Mecom -- an investment vehicle of former Mirror Group chairman David Montgomery -- and a U.S. equity firm. |
 | | German publishing group Holtzbrinck, which is selling Berliner Verlag, has defended itself, despite the fact that Montgomery has refused to rule out cutting jobs. |
