SOFIA, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Bulgaria's competition regulator
on Thursday blocked the planned acquisition of the Bulgarian
assets of Czech utility CEZ  CEZP.PR  by insurance and asset
management holding company Eurohold  4EH.BB .
    The regulator said the 335-million-euro deal would lead to a
significant increase of the market share of the new group and
would have an impact on both insurance and the energy markets.
