Private Equity Funds and the TDC Case
Interview with Poul Nyrup Rasmussen
Anders Henten and Knud Erik Skouby
Abstract

One of the most outspoken participants in the debate is Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, former Prime Minister of Denmark and current member of the European Parliament and President of the Party of European Socialists (PES).
