The European Commission Tuesday opened an in-depth investigation
into Unilever NV's (UN) EUR1.28 billion take-over of the U.S. Sara
Lee Corp.'s (SLE) body and laundry care businesses.
The commission's antitrust regulators said an initial market
inquiry into the deal revealed potential antitrust concerns on a
number of products including deodorants and fabric care.
EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said: "This merger
creates significant overlaps in a number of products used by
consumers on an everyday basis. We need to make sure that if there
are competition concerns these are duly addressed so that consumers
are not harmed."
