EU Court Upholds Approval of Vodafone Deal With Liberty Global

Dow Jones11-13

By Edith Hancock

A European Union court upheld the bloc's decision to approve Vodafone's acquisition of some of Liberty Global's telecommunications assets, thwarting a legal challenge from German telecom rivals.

Judges at the General Court said the European Commission was right to rule that the deal wouldn't affect competition for the retail supply of TV signal transmission in Germany.

The EU approved the deal in 2019.
