EU ANTITRUST REGULATORS NOT EXPECTED TO DEMAND MICROSOFT SELL ASSETS IN ACTIVISION DEAL - SOURCES - RTRS

EU REGULATORS' CONCERNS LIKELY TO BE ADDRESSED WITH MICROSOFT LICENSING DEALS WITH RIVALS AND OTHER BEHAVIOURAL REMEDIES - SOURCES - RTRS
EU is likely to approve with the behavioural remedies that Microsoft has offered. Their approval was expected though, it still ultimately comes down to the CMA. However, will CMA now be swayed by EU's decision? CMA's President did an interview recently stating that they will take into account what other regulators decide.
Also, one reason (among a few others) as to why they don't like Behavioural Remedies is that it requires long and difficult monitoring on their part, if EU takes that responsibility (as any remedies undertaken would be applied worldwide), will it push UK to accept them? Since someone else will be monitoring them.
