New pledges made by ITA and Lufthansa
to secure an OK to their merger are still not enough for the
European Commission but there is time until a final decision on
July 4 for improvements to be made to get the green light,
sources close to the dossier said Tuesday.
The merger between the Italian and German flag carriers is a
"complex" case, the sources said after talks between EC Vice
President and Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager and
Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti.
It is still possible to achieve steps forwards on the basis of
both sides' willingness to reach a satisfactory deal, the
sources said.
