I guess your rant against the EU Commission and their stance on the merger can be explained by your username!!
There has been too much consolidation in the European package market already. If the merger had gone through it would have left just UPS and DHL in a market bigger than the US and Canada; and the result would have been increased rates for users all round - not to mention hundreds, probably thousands across Europe thrown out of work.
Well done the EU for having the courage that many national governments lack.
