MILAN/BRUSSELS, June 12 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators who raided Kering's (PRTP.PA) Gucci and other fashion firms in April are looking into how they set prices of handbags and leather goods for distributors, three people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. Kering confirmed at the time that Gucci was cooperating with the EU regulators after Reuters previously reported the European Union dawn raid on its site in Milan, which makes such products. The Commission, which did not name the companies it raided, said at the time that they may have breached EU antitrust rules against cartels and restrictive business practices, but did not provide details. Such practices are illegal under EU antitrust rules and breaches can lead to fines up to 10% of a company's global turnover. U.S. clothing company Guess (GES.N) was hit with a 40 million euro ($43 million) fine in 2018 for preventing retailers from setting the retail price of its products independently.

May 4 (Reuters) - Satellite firm SES (SESFg.LU) on Thursday reported first-quarter earnings above market expectations, and said it is on track to deliver on its full-year outlook. It also confirmed its schedule for both the O3b mPOWER and U.S. C-band projects. One of the world's biggest commercial satellite operators, the Luxembourg-based company said first-quarter adjusted core earnings (EBITDA) fell 3.2% year-on-year to 265 million euros ($293.57 million), but that still above 255 million euros seen in a company-compiled consensus. "Solid EBITDA performance underscores our continued focus on execution across the business," Chief Executive Steve Collar said in the earnings statement.

☆ UniCredit board member did not quit due to alleged spat over CEO pay - chairman

MILAN, March 17 (Reuters) - The former head of the remuneration committee and board member of UniCredit (CRDI.MI), Jayne-Anne Gadhia, did not quit the bank due to alleged disagreements over the pay package of CEO Andrea Orcel, the chairman of Italy's No.2 lender said on Friday. UniCredit is proposing hiking Orcel's fixed salary by 30% while a corresponding increase in the variable pay would be tied to the group beating financial targets. Hitting 2023 goals would leave Orcel with the same overall pay of up to 7.5 million euros ($5.33 million) as in 2022, making him one of Europe's best paid bank executives, thanks to a reduction in the compensation's variable component, which will be all in shares and spread over a longer period. "The suggestion that Dame Jayne-Anne left the bank 'after skirmishes ... over [chief executive] pay' is false, as we have repeatedly said", Chairman Pier Carlo Padoan said in a letter to the Financial Times, referring to an opinion piece published by the British newspaper on March 13.

Cu toate acestea, potențialul pentru o mai mare libertate economică este împiedicat de cheltuielile guvernamentale sistemice, precum și de o legislație costisitoare a muncii.
