Limited, slow progress on ITA-Lufthansa - EU sources
New German delegation to meet Vestager in bid to break deadlock
Progress in talks aimed at securing
an EU nod for the merger between Lufthansa and ITA is "little"
and "slow", various EU sources told ANSA after the airlines made
fresh commitments to try to meet antitrust demands Wednesday.
The further concessions from the German flag carrier and the
Italian economy ministry on slots at Milan Linate do not appear
to be sufficient, they said, and the EU reportedly wants a more
solid solution for long-range routes from Rome Fiumicino to the
USA and Canada, the sources said.
On Thursday a fresh German delegation is expected to meet
Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager in Brussels in a bid
to break the deadlock before a July 4 deadline for the yes or no
to the deal.
