General Electric Co. said it’s ready to consider making concessions to win over the European Commission after the regulator sent it a list of competition concerns about its planned 12.4 billion-euro ($14 billion) acquisition of most of Alstom SA’s energy business.

GE and the commission both said that the filing doesn’t prejudge the final outcome of the deal review, and GE indicated it’s still “exploring potential remedies that would address concerns and preserve the deal economics.”
