The Daily Telegraph from London, Greater London, England • 24

24 MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1994 THE DAILY TELEGRAPH EUROPEAN BUSINESS EDITED BY MARY BRASIER Berlusconi taps into the Italian Dream THE current turmoil of Italian political and business life is producing surprising new faces in old jobs. Current top vacancy is for prime minister after Carlo Azeglio Ciampi declared would like to leave the job once caused Benito Mussolini to remark: "Though it is not difficult to govern the Italians, it is not worth the effort. Silvio Berlusconi, a who has everything, including a powerful media empire which dominates Italian commercial television, a quarter of Italy's magazine market and 20pc of its book publishing as well as AC Milan football is the man who to succeed Ciampi as prime minister. Mr Berlusconi is about as close as his country gets to the American Dream. Beautiful women seek him out.

He is both extravagantly wealthy and healthy--at 56 he is loved and hated in about equal measure, but is indifferent. Berlusconi a fighter, and once he gets an idea in his head it stays there. in now decided he must "drink the of public service." His bitterords excuse is that Italy will to elect its first Communist government this spring--unless he provides attractive alternative. The former Communists who are inclined to see Sua of is as a perfect symbol rapacious capitalism, have threatened to strip Mr Berlusconi of at least part of his TV empire if they win power. A personal ideologue, Professor Giuliano Urbani, has been acquired to devise a policy.

A headquarters has been set up in Milan with the task of establishing 8,000 political clubs under the banner Forza Italia, "Onward Italy!" Seven thousand candidates are being selected. Those chosen will have passed a screen test to ensure they are sufficiently 'telegenic'. The project erupted in controversy in November when Mr Berlusconi "accidentally" endorsed the Fascist candidates in a Rome mayoral election. Berlusconi is certainly not a Fascist. Part of his appeal seems to be that he has few political ideas at all.

In this, he is taking a leaf from the book of Ross Perot, the US presidential il Mend 48 5000 SOCIETA BERLUSCONI IN POLITICA SILVIO BONAPARTE CHI LO TEME CHI LO SEGUE CHI LO SFOTTE! The biter bit: Berlusconi makes the front cover of one magazine he does not own under the heading: Berlusconi in politics- fears him, who follows him, who ridicules him. candidate whose campaign he has studied. Berlusconi's views resemble those expressed in the by American auto executive Alfred Sloane in the slogan "What's good for General Motors is good for the USA." What's for Silvio Berlusconi is, he believes, what's good for Italy. JAMES HANSEN Prodi's popular front "DIVINE retribution." That's what Romano Prodi thinks of his present job. God is getting even with him for years as Italy's best known "small is beautiful" economist, writes James Hansen.

Mr Prodi is now head of IRI, the enormous State holding company which accounts for 5pc of the Italian Gross National Product. IRI is neither small nor beautiful. With more than 400,000 employees and turnover of £34 billion a year, it is one of the Liffe expands ecu market which reflects outstanding holdings of the contractrose 206pc last futures trader said: "'The fact that open interest exceeds turnover is very important for the contract.

He insisted on rewriting the prospectus for Credito Italiano, the bank prilast month to forbid single shareholders from controlling more than 3pc of the bank's shares.

Mr Prodi's populist views are not shared by Italy's economic establishment, led by Mediobanca's Enrico Cuccia with the tacit support of most of the big groups. They would prefer to see the IRI companies sold into the hands of clearly defined "hard core" alliances of controlling shareholders. As Fiat managing director Cesare Romiti put it bluntly: "If I had a daughter, I would want to have chance to influence who her future husband is rather than let her take her chances on the sidewalk." So far Mr Prodi, backed by strong support from Carlo Ciampi, has won the early rounds. The real test will come over the sale of the Banca Commerciale Italiana-Comit. Mediobanca ca has been after Comit for years and is not going to let it go without a fight.

Benedetti victory THAT other establishment battler, Carlo De Benedetti won a rare round in his permanent struggle against adversity last month. Milan magistrates decided he 'had acted lawfully when he resigned from Banco Ambrosiano then headed by Roberto Calvi, the notorious God's Banker, who was later found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge. De Benedetti is now waiting for the official ruling of another Mr. Milan court which found him guilty of criminal charges of complicity in fraudulent bankruptcy. So far it has taken more than 18 months for the court to produce a written report justifying the verdict it reached in 1992.

When it does Mr De Benedetti will appeal and further prolong the legal marathon. If he does avoid prison for his Ambrosiano adventure, Mr De Benedetti still faces the possibility of charges in Italy's massive and protracted probe into political corruption. With lawyers most overworked people in the country, legal profession then rather than media, business or politics is the career of choice in Italy today. Athens pushes carbon fuels tax off EC agenda THE Greek presidency of the EC has already claimed its first casualty. The CO2-carbon tax has been kicked smartly into touch by Athens.

The tax, which would have been applied to all fossil fuels, was supposed to cut consumption and so slow global warming. At tr the same time it would provide a source of revenue for governments. The idea was abhorred by Britain and other countries.

Metallgesellschaft shares slumped nearly 20pc in Frankfurt when trading resumed on Friday. COMMERZBANK is raising £378m in a 1 for 10 rights issue at Dm315, its second cash call in 12 months, to increase its core capital. THE Banque de France gained independence with the appointment of a nine strong ruling council, which will be responsible for monetary policy.

Most controversial member is former Scoailist finance minister Michel Sapin, who oversaw France's franc fort policy during the 1992 exchange rate crisis. President Mitterrand threatened to veto the legislation unless a leftwing politician was included in the council. BANESTO'S new board is working on an assessment of the Spanish bank's losses as fears continue that it will need as much as 750. billion pesetas billion)-more than originally thought-to keep going. 0 ELF Aquitaine and Union des Assurances de Paris will be floated this month as part of the government's privatisation programme.

The government is to retain an 13pc stake in Elf, which will have six other core shareholders, including BNP, Suez, Renault and Axa. FRENCH prime minister Edouard Balladur declared the French recession over, saying the economy had stopped stagnating in the last few weeks.

It is also a mess. Debts of 73,000 billion Lire (£30 billion) are only slightly below annual revenues.

IRI's losses this year are expected to exceed 5,000 billion Lire (£2 billion).
