Mediaset filed complaint with French watchdog against Vivendi - source

By Claudia Cristoferi MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's Mediaset has asked the French stock market regulator to force Vivendi to amend some statements it has made about a pay-TV deal which the French firm pulled out of, according to a source close to the matter. Broadcaster Mediaset, owned by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, is suing Vivendi for damages after it backed away from the deal. Vivendi said the financial forecasts of the unit, provided by Mediaset, were overly optimistic.
