If that doesn't work, you could use photbucket - just adds an extra step and its slightly clunky.

No need for PAINT, just save the image as a .gif file on your pc, upload it to photobucket and click on Direct under share links and post as above.

Ah right - I've just looked at the HTML source - I'd forgotten that ADVFN don't allow some addresses to be posted by Free users - try changing the 'tt' to 'TT' in http of your link, if that doesn't work - its back to the drawing board.

Italy court tells govt to refund Telecom Italia, Vodafone 846 mln eur




MILAN (Thomson Financial) - Italy's highest administrative court has upheld
a 2006 decision of a lower administrative court calling on the government to
refund Telecom Italia SpA and Vodafone 846 mln eur in levies wrongly imposed by
the 1999 budget, Radiocor said, without citing sources.
According to Radiocor, the ruling by the Consiglio di Stato means the state
will have to refund Telecom Italia 546 mln eur, plus about 100 mln in interest
payments, and Vodafone 190 mln, plus about 10 mln in interest.
Last year the Italian communications and economy ministries appealed the
lower administrative court ruling in favour of the two telecom groups.
Telecom Italia has however already included the amount in question in its
2006 accounts.

French govt appeals EU court ruling on France Telecom state aid




PARIS (Thomson Financial) - The French government has lodged an appeal
against the European Court of Justice's ruling that France Telecom must repay up
to 1.14 bln eur in state aid, La Tribune reported, without naming its source.
The paper also quoted France Telecom as saying it is "analysing the
consequences of this decision", which requires the French state to demand the
money from a group in which it still holds a 27.4 pct stake.
It said the legal process concerning what the commission claims is 798
mln-1.14 bln eur of unpaid business tax will not come to an end until next year.
France Telecom shares were unmoved by the ruling yesterday.
Natixis analysts, who have an 'add' recommendation on the stock, estimate
the impact of repayment at 0.7 eur per share and said France Telecom has so far
made no provision for the risk.
According to La Tribune, France Telecom's reference document filed with the
regulator describes the risk as a "potential liability".
Nobody at France Telecom was available to comment yesterday or today.

EU court backs EU Commission ruling that France Telecom must repay aid UPDATE




(Updates with detail, background)
LUXEMBOURG (Thomson Financial) - The EU's top court upheld a decision by the
European Commission that France Telecom must repay up to 1.14 bln eur in state
aid.
In September 2005, France Telecom and the French government appealed the
commission decision in August 2004 concerning aid in the form of a business tax
exemption.
The French government has made no attempt to recover the aid, paid from 1991
to 2002 and totalling between 798 mln and 1.14 bln eur.
"More than two years after the adoption (of the decision), the aid in
question still hasn't been reimbursed," the European Court of Justice said,
criticising France for its "lack of cooperation".

EU court dismisses Bouygues appeal vs EU Commission in 3G telecoms 'aid' case


BRUSSELS (Thomson Financial) - The EU's second-highest court has dismissed
an appeal brought by Bouygues Telecom SA against a European Commission ruling
which said a French government decision over four years ago to reduce fees paid
by rivals France Telecom's Orange and Vivendi Universal SA's SFR for 3G telecoms
licences did not violate EU rules.
In July 2004, the commission stated that a retroactive reduction in the
amount Orange and SFR had to pay for their Universal Mobile Telecommunication
System (UMTS) licences, granted in 2001, was not unlawful.
In June 2000, the government issued an invitation to apply for the award of
the licences. The first, in which Orange France and SFR participated, was
launched in the August of that year with each company paying a set fee of 4.95
bln eur for a 15 year contract. Bouygues had decided not to compete on account
of the price.
The French telecoms regulatory authority decided to proceed with a second
round of calls for tender on the basis of ensuring adequate competition.
In the second invitation to apply, with the third generation mobile
telephone sector running into difficulties, the fee was reduced substantially to
619 mln eur followed by an annual payment of a percentage of sales resulting
from use of the licence. Bouygues Telecom applied and in December 2002, was
awarded a UMTS licence for a 20 year period.
However, the government decided to align retroactively the amount of the
fees provided for in the first procedure with that provided for in the second
invitation to apply.
Therefore, the government -- basing its decision on principles of equality
and and fair competition -- modified the conditions of the licences to Orange
and SFR to make them identical to those of Bouygues.
Bouygues formally complained about the government's move to the commission.
The Court of First Instance's (CFI) ruling today can be appealed within two
months to the EU's highest court, the European Court of Justice.

EU'S Reding urges telecoms deregulation, sees implementation by 2010 UPDATE


(Updates with further Reding quotes, timescale)
BRUSSELS (AFX) - EU commissioner for telecommunications Viviane Reding said
telecoms companies and regulators must do more to deregulate the market and
improve competition while adding that new regulation could come into force by
2010.
The regulation will be launched later this year, under the Portuguese
presidency of the EU, and the EU parliament and council could agree on the
measures in 2009, she said.
"2.3 pct growth of the sector and 5 pct additional investment are good,
(but) they are not good enough in times when Europe's competitiveness is at
stake," she told a news conference on the EU's 12th report on telecoms markets.
She added however that the opening of telecom markets is one of "the EU's
success stories", due to the downward trend in tariffs and better services.
The EU is due to announce new, reformed telecom rules in July of this year.
The reform "must focus regulation on those key bottlenecks where competition
is still not effective," Reding said.
She also reiterated her call for a single European regulator modelled on the
US' FCC, for consolidation of the internal market and management of spectrum and
scarce resources.
"Inconsistencies have to be eliminated, because they are a barrier to the
internal market: we cannot have 27 conflicting ways of applying European law,"
she said.
She added however, that "I do not want to abolish the national regulators"
as they are close to their markets.
The commission refers to "burning regulatory issues" which need urgent
attention, including some national regulators which are not truly independent of
government influence, singling out Poland and Slovakia.
Italy, Portugal, Greece and Germany are singled out for their use of
delaying tactics, with "lengthy legal appeals against the decisions of national
regulators".
Reding also called for more consistent access to broadband internet across
the EU.
According to the commission, the EU telecoms market generates sales of 290
bln eur annually.

France Telecom German govt says EU concern at lack of telecoms competition 'unfounded' - report


FRANKFURT (AFX) - The German government dismissed as "unfounded" the
European Commission's concerns that failure to force Deutsche Telekom AG to
separate its networks and services may hinder competition, Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung reported, citing a statement by the economy ministry it
obtained.
The German government and the European Commission have been embroiled in a
dispute over a law passed in Germany earlier this year that allows Deutsche
Telekom's high-speed VDSL network to be exempted from competition for a limited
period.
"If the Federal Republic was interested in relieving new markets of
regulation, then that goal could have been achieved by doing nothing, or by
sticking with old laws," the government said in its statement, according to
Frankfurter Allgemeine.
The new law creates a basis on which regulators can act, it said.
The government is offering the Commission "a prompt clarifying talk, despite
its publicly stated position," the newspaper said.
EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding today told the Financial Times that
dominant European telecommunications groups such as Deutsche Telekom or France
Telecom could be forced to separate their networks and services.
She said the "functional separation" of telecoms service and network
businesses has benefited markets such as the UK, leading to more competition and
faster adoption of other services.

3G tax rebate issue to be heard in February
The European Court of Justice has written to a number of 3G licensees including Vodafone and O2 informing them that an oral hearing over their right to seek tax rebates on their licences will take place in February 2006. According to the UK broadsheet The Times, the court added that a decision on the case could come from the Advocate General as soon as the middle of next year. In the UK, the five 3G licensees – Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, O2 and 3 – have argued that the GBP22.5 billion they paid for their 3G licensees in 2000 included VAT. Since most businesses can deduct VAT they pay from the VAT they charge customers, the companies argue, they should then be eligible to reap tax windfalls from the treasury. They believe they are entitled to rebates totalling GBP3.35 billion.

Deutsche Telekom accuses Spain of unfair 'tax subsidies'

LONDON (AFX) - Deutsche Telekom AG has accused Madrid of unfairly
subsidising foreign acquisitions by Spanish companies and is studying whether
any help over tax in the takeover of O2 PLC, the UK mobile phone company, by
Spain's Telefonica SA contravened EU law, the Financial Times reported.
Deutsche Telekom chief executive Kai-Uwe Ricke said Telefonica's ability to
write off the goodwill of the planned 26 bln eur deal thanks to exceptional
Spanish tax rules highlighted Europe's "skewed competitive environment" and was
"an important factor" in deterring DT from making a counter offer.
He also cited price and potential regulatory difficulties.
Deutsche Telekom reckons Telefonica will be able to write off goodwill of 11
bln eur against tax bills and reduce payments to Spain's exchequer by 4 bln eur
or 15 pct of the price for O2, the FT said.
"We're checking whether this is permissable under EU law," said Gerhard
Eick, DT chief financial officer.
European Commission officials said the Spanish tax provision had not been
brought to its attention, but argued it is unlikely to be viewed as an illegal
subsidy, the report said.
