SAO PAULO, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Brazil's government has 
requested legal and financial analysis on relinquishing the 
right to veto certain strategic decisions in a few companies 
that are or were privatized. 
    In a Wednesday statement to Reuters, the ministry said it 
had requested the state auditing court to gauge how the 
government could exit the so-called golden share it holds in 
former state monopolies that have been partially or fully 
privatized in recent years. The note did not say when or why the 
ministry requested such analysis from the court known as TCU. 
    The news was first reported by Valor Econômico newspaper 
earlier in the day. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL2N1LN0IV
