It's not the whole VNU that the Finnish company bought. The Finnish company 
is SanomaWSOY which is the largest publishing house in Finland. Part of 
SanomaWSOY is Helsinki Media which is the Finnish Disney-publisher. VNU did 
only sell its magazines (not any newspapers) to SanomaWSOY including the 
Disney-publications. The reason for the deal was something like to protect 
SanomaWSOY from take overs.
Maybe we get to see more Dutch-stories here. Is it the same company that 
publishes and produces stories in Holland? We might start to call Dutch 
stories Finnish stories. ;-)
