From the planned path-Fusion of Siemens and the French competitor Alstom apparently nothing: matching media voice, according to reports, the EU-Commission of the merger.

The EU Commission wants the proposed rail merger of Siemens and the French competitor Alstom in the morning. The multiple media consistently report citing well-informed circles. The large-scale project of a “Airbus of the Rail” – has failed, apparently.

The ICE-manufacturer, Siemens, and the TGV builders, Alstom wanted to merge their railway divisions to become one of Europe’s largest producers and to insist, especially in international competition – for example, with China. The EU-Commission, however, had significant concerns that the merger would be prejudicial to the internal competition in Europe and ultimately to the consumer.
