MILAN, May 8 (Reuters) - Luxembourg-based Delfin, the holding company of Italy's Del Vecchio family and the main shareholder in EssilorLuxottica ESLX.PA, on Friday defended the validity of an agreement its shareholders reached on April 27 to redesign ownership.

Delfin said the complaint that one of its shareholders, Rocco Basilico, raised with relevant Luxembourg-based authorities was unfounded because the decisions were taken in compliance with applicable rules, the company's by-laws and approved with the required majority.

"Delfin will argue that the deliberations taken on April 27 comply with Luxembourg laws," it said.
