A spokesman said although the transaction is subject to regulatory consent, the partners of AAUK and DTUK have already voted overwhelmingly in favour of the deal. Their application to proceed with the transaction has been received by the European Competition Commission (ECC). The ECC's approval of the proposed transaction is expected in early July 2002.
