      London and Brussels make the case for competition

      Pushback on UK supermarkets and Franco-German rail deals stands in contrast to US

      (FILES) In this file photo taken on April 30, 2018 Logos of supermarket chains Asda (top) and Sainsbury's are pictured outside adjacent branches of their stores in Stockport, northern England on April 30, 2018. - The planned mega-merger of British supermarket giant Sainsbury's and Walmart-owned Asda raises "extensive competition concerns" and could spark higher prices and less choice, regulators warned on February 20, 2019. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) watchdog, revealing the provisional findings of an in-depth probe, added it could potentially block the deal -- or require both companies to sell a "significant" number of stores and other assets including one of the two brands.
