BRUSSELS, Nov 4 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators will
decide by Dec. 6 whether to clear Novo Holdings' acquisition of
contract drug manufacturer Catalent CTLT.N , according to a
filing on the European Commission website on Monday.
The controlling shareholder of Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO put
in a request for EU approval for the deal on Oct. 31, the filing
showed.
The EU antitrust can either clear the deal with or without
remedies or it can open a full-scale four-month long
investigation if it has serious concerns.
