BRUSSELS, Dec 10 (Reuters) - French media conglomerate Vivendi made a last-ditch effort on Wednesday to stave off a potential EU antitrust fine, following charges it closed its acquisition of publisher Lagardere before receiving regulatory approval.
Vivendi, represented by more than a dozen lawyers, made its case to senior competition officials and lawyers at the European Commission as well as French antitrust officials at a day-long closed hearing. Lagardere's lawyers were also present.
