French encyclopedia maker's idea of fair and balanced. Equal ink for Holocaust revisionists.

Publisher Robert Laffont has 15 days to prove it followed through with an earlier court order, or it faces fines.

In a section on World War II extermination camps, the Quid reference book said the official number of deaths at Auschwitz-Birkenau was 1.2 million.

Quid has been brought to court several times for the affair.
