Swedish telecoms operator Telia has offered concessions to try to address EU antitrust concerns over its US$957 million bid for Bonnier Broadcasting, the European Commission stated on Tuesday, August 13.

Telia offered concessions in April, but these were rejected as insufficient. For telecoms deals, the Commission typically demands providers sell assets to reinforce a smaller rival or grant competitors access to their network.
