Competition lawyers also warn that the Commission could be put in an awkward position if an Oreja-backed bid for PFE ran into anti-trust problems with Van Miert and his staff. Top of the list of foreign suitors is reported to be Paul Allen, the American billionaireco-founder of Microsoft, who owns 25% of the DreamWorks studio set up by a consortium including Steven Spielberg. Seagram, a drinks conglomerate which also owns Hollywood studio Universal, acquired PFE as part of its 9.5-billion-ecu deal to buy Dutch electronics company Philips' 75% holding in PolyGram.Seagram is only interested in PolyGram's music business and has given PFE president Michael Kuhn until the end of the year to wrap up the sale of the movie arm – a deal which is expected to net 750 million ecu.Kuhn, like Oreja, is desperate to find a European buyer for the company he has led since its creation six years ago and seen through the making of international blockbusters such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bean and Trainspotting.
