Nasdaq-EEX Deal Hits Snag: Reportedly Risks Full-Scale Investigation By EU Antitrust Regulators
Nasdaq, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) and The European Energy Exchange deal could reportedly face a full-scale investigation by EU antitrust regulators unless the Deutsche Boerse unit enhances its measures to address competition concerns.
纳斯达克公司(纳斯达克股票代码:NDAQ)与欧洲能源交易所协议据称可能面临欧盟反垄断监管机构的全面调查,除非德意志交易所加强其措施以解决竞争问题。
EEX is aiming to acquire Nasdaq's European power trading and clearing business, Nasdaq Power, whose platform is meant for users and companies in the Nordics.
EEX旨在收购纳斯达克的欧洲电力交易和结算业务Nasdaq Power,该平台面向北欧用户和企业。
The EU antitrust watchdog is unlikely to seek feedback from users and rivals on the already submitted remedies, indicating that these measures are insufficient, reported Reuters.
据路透社报道,欧盟反垄断监管机构不太可能就已经提交的补救措施征求用户和竞争对手的意见,这表明这些措施是不足够的。
Notably, remedies were submitted to the EU on May 27, though details were not made public.
值得注意的是,这些措施已于5月27日提交给欧盟,但细节并未公开。
As per the report, the European Commission, the EU competition enforcer, is expected to open a full-scale investigation into the deal after its preliminary review ends on June 26, unless EEX strengthens its remedies in the coming days.
根据报道,欧洲委员会,欧盟反垄断执法机构,在其初步审查于6月26日结束后,预计将在EEX未来几天加强其解决方案的情况下对该交易进行深入调查。
Last year, the parties said the deal posed no significant threat to competition in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, or any other EU country. They asserted that it would not eliminate competition between the two companies and noted that market reaction had been positive.
去年,有关方面称该交易对于丹麦、芬兰、瑞典、挪威或任何其他欧盟国家的竞争情况不构成重大威胁。他们断言这不会消除两家公司之间的竞争,并指出市场反应积极。
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via IShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF (NYSE:IAI) and Natixis Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap ETF (NYSE:VNMC).
投资者可以通过持有谷氏中盘股ETF(NYSE:VNMC)和iShares美国经纪商及证券交易所ETF(NYSE:IAI)来获得该股的收益。
