Lufthansa and Ita have submitted new
commitments to the European Commission in order to get the
go-ahead for their merger, the EC said Monday.
"The parties have submitted commitments aimed at resolving the
preliminary competition problems identified and indicating that
the proposed solutions will now be assessed carefully," said the
EU executive.
Under Brussels' lens are in particular several short-haul routes
connecting Italy with Central Europe, some intercontinental
routes between Italy and the US, Canada and Japan, and Ita's
dominant position on the Milan-Linate route.
The deadline for the EU decision is 6 June.
