BRUSSELS: EU antitrust regulators have extended by two weeks to July 23 their investigation into Vodafone’s $22 billion bid for Liberty Global’s cable networks in Germany and central Europe, according to a filing on the European Commission website.The EU competition enforcer decline to comment on the reason for the extension. Vodafone, the world’s second-largest mobile operator said discussions with the Commission were ongoing.
