BRUSSELS : EU antitrust regulators will decide by March 20 whether to clear French telecoms provider Orange's $19 billion bid for Spanish telecoms provider MasMovil, a European Commission filing showed on Tuesday.The EU competition watchdog can clear the deal with or without remedies after its preliminary review ends, or it can open a four-month investigation if it has serious concerns.
The deal marks a tie-up between Spain's second and fourth largest telecoms operators, which could trigger more stringent scrutiny by the Commission.
