(Photo by KENZO TRIBOUILLARD/AFP via Getty Images)Automobile giants Renault and Nissan on Monday agreed to restructure their decades-long alliance, in a move that will see Renault transfer 28.4% of Nissan shares into a French trust, the companies said. Renault would instruct the trustee to sell those shares if "commercially reasonable" and as part of a "coordinated and orderly process." The deal still pends board approvals, but would see Renault's shareholdings in Nissan reduced from around 43% to 15%, bringing its interest down to equal the Japanese company's current stake in Renault. Both companies would be able to "freely exercise the voting rights attached to their 15% direct shareholdings, with a 15% cap," the companies said.

Kenzo Tribouillard | Afp | Getty ImagesThe dust has barely settled on the decision by the U.S. and Germany to supply battle tanks to Ukraine, but talk has already turned to the possible use of other firepower, namely, fighter jets. Kyiv appears confident that, as with Western tanks, it will eventually be given F-16s too. The U.S. has been tight-lipped about giving Ukraine F-16s, or allowing other countries to re-export their own U.S.-made fighter jets to Ukraine (National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said he had no announcement to make on the issue Wednesday). How helpful fighter jets would be to Ukraine is a matter for debate, and depends on the aircraft, its weaponry and flying conditions, experts note. Germany arrived at its decision to send tanks after months of pressure and deliberation, making any question over fighter jets a very distant prospect, according to Carsten Nickel, deputy director of research at analysis firm Teneo.

Products sold through inducements are on average 35% more expensive than products sold where no inducements are paid, she said. EU states and the European Parliament would have the final say on any proposal to ban inducements.
