EEX bourse requires EU antitrust okay for Nasdaq deal, EU says
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Deutsche Boerse's European Energy Exchange (EEX) has to seek EU antitrust approval for its acquisition of Nasdaq's European power trading and clearing business because of its importance to Europe's energy market, EU antitrust regulators said on Monday. The European Commission, which acts as the competition enforcer for the 27-country European Union, said it had been asked by Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway to examine the deal even though the acquisition falls below the EU merger rules on turnover.
