Rossignol's management indicates that it is still in preliminary discussions with European antitrust authorities about a project whereby Jarden Corporation and the Macquarie investment group, which currently owns the majority of Rossignol's shares, would share control of the company. While denying rumors of a veto, an executive of Rossignol said the company managed to achieve a net profit in the financial year ended last March 31. Pre-season orders show that its sales will grow again this year in spite of an expected decline of more than 10 percent in the European ski market.
