Universal Gets EU Antitrust Complaint on EMI Bid Concerns

Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group said it received an antitrust complaint from European Union regulators citing concerns over its bid for EMI Group’s recorded-music business.

The European Commission has “provided us today with a statement of objections,” Adam White, a spokesman for Universal in London, said in an e-mail. “We will continue to work closely with the commission and look forward to securing regulatory clearance.”
