Europe may clear Murdoch's Sky deal

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation is expected to be told this week that regulators in Brussels have no objections to its £7.8bn (€9.2bn) bid to buy BSkyB, according to press reports.

Sources close to the deal told The Sunday Telegraph that the European Commission (EC), which set itself a deadline of December 22 to report on the impact of the proposed deal, have not found any significant competition problems.
