BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - EU regulators suspended an antitrust investigation into Sony Corp. and Bertelsmann AG's 2004 deal to merge their music units after the companies failed to turn over necessary data, the European Commission said Friday.
It said it had temporarily "stopped the clock" on its new inquiry until the companies submit the "complete and accurate information" the Commission had asked for. This will likely push back the July 2 deadline regulators had set for a decision.
Representatives for Sony-BMG were not immediately available for comment.
