EU's Almunia: likely to appeal ING bailout court ruling
BRUSSELS, March 12 (Reuters) - EU regulators are
likely to appeal against a court ruling in which Dutch bank and
insurer ING <ING.AS> won a victory against the European
Commission over a 2008 financial bailout, EU Competition
Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said on Monday.
"There is a high probability we will appeal," Almunia told
reporters.
Earlier this month, ING won a challenge against an EU ruling
on its 10 billion euro bailout in 2008 that could result in the
bank selling fewer assets.
Europe's second-highest court ruled that the Commission had
failed to show that ING gained an unfair advantage over rivals
due to extra aid granted by Dutch authorities.
