Microsoft asks for EU approval of $7.49bn Nokia deal October 30, 2013 - 15:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft has asked EU antitrust regulators to approve its 5.44-billion-euro ($7.49 billion) takeover of Nokia's phone business as part of a push into the mobile devices business, according to Reuters. The deal, announced last month, includes a 10-year licensing agreement of Nokia's patent portfolio. The European Commission said it would decide by December 4 whether to clear the acquisition. It can extend the review by 10 working days if Microsoft offers concessions to allay possible competition concerns.
