EU EXTENDS GOOGLE/DOUBLECLICK INQUIRY
[SOURCE: Reuters]
European Union regulators on Monday extended the deadline for their inquiry into Google's proposed purchase of rival DoubleClick to November 13 from October 26. The time limit for a decision on the $3.1 billion deal was moved back so proposed remedies to possible competition problems could be tested. Google has proposed changes to the deal, which will be vetted with customers and competitors. Google competition counsel Julia Holtz said that in response to third-party concerns, Google had committed to the Commission that it would keep certain DoubleClick business practices unchanged.
