PARIS, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Amsterdam's Schipol airport now owns 8 percent of the capital and the voting rights of Aeroports de Paris (ADP.PA) after purchasing shares from the French state, stock market watchdog AMF said on Tuesday.

The purchase comes under a deal announced in October when Paris and Amsterdam airport authorities forged a cost-saving alliance and agreed to take an 8 percent cross-shareholding.
