  "account": "Berlin and Frankfurt. The German government, according to two officials, aims to ensure that the upcoming takeover of Commerzbank by the Italian banking giant Unicredit preserves the bank's German identity and its listing on the German stock exchange. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) intends to present these demands during a meeting with Unicredit CEO Andrea Orcel in Berlin on Monday, revealed an insider to Reuters news agency. Both the government and Commerzbank had abandoned resistance towards the takeover plans in recent weeks. Klingbeil had invited Orcel to Berlin for talks. During the meeting with the Italian banking chief, Klingbeil also sought to demand the abandonment of business-related resignations, said the insider. The government, still holding 12 percent of Commerzbank, seeks to secure the right to appoint two supervisory board members to maintain influence. For Berlin, it is crucial that credit granting to the German medium-sized enterprises remains intact. This business plays a significant role in Germany. The Federal Finance Ministry declined to comment.",
