Could I gently nudge discussion away from the topic of EU membership in general and back towards Alitalia ?
Air France seems to be letting it be known that it would be happy for it's 25% equity stake in Alitalia to be diluted down to 11% as AF-KL is reluctant to inject more equity into Alitalia for the time being

I received a letter from the EU commission about my complaint that the Italian Govt was providing state aid to Alitalia via the state-owned Italian post office, with the following wording:
"... the Commission has decided to open an ex officio preliminary investigation on the matter, registered with number SA.37491"
I'm sure that IAG making a fuss will have forced Brussels into doing something instead of probably ignoring me, but it is gratifying to note that the wheels of bureaucracy do grind into motion from time to time.
