I begin my tour Editor's note with the exhibitOscar on October 1

While Club Mediterranee today launches its dual market operation, to raise 102 million euros (box read), Bernard Tapie reaffirms its keen interest in the operator of holiday villages, without, provides, searching the showdown.

In an interview yesterday with the "Echos", human affairs and actor is justified in explaining that the presence in the capital of "a shareholder that has been proven in the field of entertainment, sport and recreation makes sense". His eyes, Club Med, which "is mounted in range and prices, but not in service", has need of "tailor-made" and villages with "main themes": tennis, diving, Thalassotherapy/wellness... By contrast, it recognizes that the direction current, conducted since end of 2002 by the President and CEO, Henri Giscard d'Estaing, "maintained the spirit" Club Med.

"If it is to fund losses I am not therefore, if it is for him Editor's note, the Enterprise enable to stop losing money, it is different", argue.

Three to four support fund

The man business and actor, who will make a decision until late May - early June, provides have "the support of three to four funds, and shareholders of the Club having lost a lot of money".

Bernard Tapie ensures even intend to engage with the management of the company. As such, it shows have met with, there are about ten days, Henri Giscard d'Estaing, who "made him a remarkable impression." "I regret that this meeting which should remain secret has been disclosed. I him Editor's note, Henri Giscard d'Estaing not want to have nothing told me on the capital increase. "But it could wait a month to make the operation and allow the entry of other shareholders," slip in passing. "I saw it once in an informal setting as I strive to see all those with interest in the Club Med", said for his part in the "Echos" the CEO of the Group of leisure.
