Article Abstract:

The European Court of First Instance rejected an appeal by General Electric Co. and Honeywell International Inc. to have their merger of $43 billion approved. Regulators upheld the 2001 verdict that the merger of the two electronic equipment companies would be a violation of European antitrust law. Overall there is a shift in Brussels to more business positive policies.
