EU antitrust regulators set April 11 deadline for Orange's Belgian deal
EU antitrust regulators will decide by April 11 whether to clear Orange's bid for a majority stake in Belgian peer VOO SA after the French telecoms provider signed a deal with Liberty Global's Telenet to address EU competition concerns. The European Commission temporarily halted its investigation into the deal in October while waiting for Orange to reach an agreement allowing Telenet to expand into Wallonia in the south of Belgium that would make it a national operator and rival. Orange and Telenet reached an agreement on Monday.
