French waste and water management companies Veolia and Suez have offered remedies in a bid to secure EU antitrust approval for their tie-up, a European Commission filing showed on Wednesday.
The EU competition enforcer, which did not provide details of the package in line with its policy, extended its deadline for a decision to Dec. 14. It will seek feedback from rivals and customers before deciding whether to accept the offer or demand more.
