EC opens investigation into E-Plus takeover by Telefonica
2013-12-20 15:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation into the planned acquisition of KPN's E-Plus by Telefonica Deutschland, rejecting a request from the German competition regulator to examine the proposed merger of the third- and fourth-largest mobile operators in Germany. The EC has 90 working days, until 14 May 2014, to take a decision. The investigation will focus on the possible reduction in competition in the retail mobile telephony market as well as in the market for wholesale access and call origination on mobile networks in Germany. Moreover, the commission has concerns that after the transaction the remaining MNOs might have fewer incentives to grant access to their network to MVNOs and service providers. Prospective and existing MVNOs and service providers would have less choice of host networks and hence weaker negotiating power to obtain favourable wholesale access terms.

EU to open investigation of O2, E-Plus merger - report
2013-12-13 10:49:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission will announce its intention to carry out an in-depth investigation of Telefonica Germany's proposed EUR 8.6 billion takeover of E-Plus next week, reports Reuters, citing three unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The EC will thus reject a request by Germany's Federal Cartel Office that the case be referred to the German competition authority for investigation. Telefonica announced its proposed takeover of KPN's German mobile unit E-Plus in July, a deal that would create the largest operator in Germany, ahead of Deutsche Telecom and Vodafone Germany. At the end of October the Spanish group applied to the European Commission for clearance of the merger.
