		<description><![CDATA[Renault SA&#160;Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn on&#160;Tuesday painted a&#160;gloomy outlook for&#160;car makers in&#160;Europe this year. Automobile sales in&#160;the region could decline between 2% and&#160;3%, while France, Renault&#8217;s home market, faces a&#160;between 5% and&#160;6% drop in&#160;sales, Mr. Ghosn said. &#171;It&#8217;s going to&#160;be tough for&#160;everyone, not&#160;just for&#160;Renault,&#187; Mr. Ghosn said in&#160;an interview on&#160;the France Inter radio station. &#171;What [...]]]></description>

Roads in&#160;many areas of&#160;Italy have been blocked and&#160;Fiat says the&#160;move has&#160;affected supplies of&#160;components. The strikers are&#160;unhappy with increased fuel prices introduced in&#160;a series of&#160;austerity measures last month. Police say&#160;a protester died in&#160;an apparent accident involving a&#160;German lorry [...]]]></description>

The&#160;U.&#160;S. company had&#160;in September proposed to&#160;provide certain spare parts and&#160;technical information to&#160;other companies which maintain its&#160;mainframe hardware and&#160;software, under fair and&#160;reasonable terms.

In a&#160;letter to&#160;its staff in&#160;Iran, the&#160;Helsinki-based joint venture cited toughening global sanctions against Iran that &#171;make it&#160;almost impossible for&#160;Nokia Siemens Networks to&#160;do business with Iranian customers.&#187; The&#160;Wall Street Journal obtained [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Renault-Nissan, the&#160;automotive group, is&#160;taking a&#160;nuanced approach in&#160;India as&#160;it attempts to&#160;meet the&#160;unique demands of&#160;customers and&#160;business partners in&#160;the country. Speaking to&#160;Forbes India, Carlos Ghosn, chief executive of&#160;Renault-Nissan, argued adapting to&#160;conditions in&#160;major overseas markets was&#160;unlikely to&#160;be a&#160;rapid process. &#171;When a&#160;large manufacturer or&#160;a large company comes to&#160;a foreign country, it&#160;has to&#160;learn,&#187; Ghosn said. &#171;No market, particularly no&#160;market as&#160;sophisticated and&#160;as [...]]]></description>

The new&#160;Italian government, led&#160;by Prime Minister Mario Monti, has&#160;one month to&#160;take action before the&#160;European Commission triggers a&#160;court case over the&#160;matter, the&#160;regulator said in&#160;an e-mailed statement from Brussels today. &#171;Italian legislation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The European Commission Thursday said it&#160;will sue&#160;Germany for&#160;a second time over the&#160;country&#8217;s so-called Volkswagen law&#160;which it&#160;says violates free movement of&#160;capital in&#160;the European Union and&#160;effectively shields the&#160;company from a&#160;hostile takeover. European authorities had&#160;previously demanded changes to&#160;the law, which prevents any&#160;shareholder from exercising more than 20% of&#160;the voting rights in&#160;car maker Volkswagen AG, no&#160;matter how&#160;many shares they [...]]]></description>
