EXCLUSIVE-EU to clear Liberty Global, Vodafone Dutch tie-up - sources

Reuters - UK Focus

BRUSSELS, July 29 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators are set to approve a plan by Liberty Global (NasdaqGS: LBTYA - news) and British telecoms provider Vodafone to merge their Dutch operations after the companies offered minor concessions, two people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

The companies, which want to bulk up to better compete with former incumbent KPN (Amsterdam: KPN.AS - news) , offered concessions on July 12 but did not provide details.

The merged company will be the second-largest telecoms company in the Netherlands. U.S (Other OTC: UBGXF - news) . cable group Liberty's Ziggo (Other OTC: ZIGGF - news) is the largest cable TV operator in the Netherlands and Vodafone the second-biggest mobile network operator.
