I wish I could find the link but shorty after the failed Ups takeover bid a person involved in the negotiations was being interviewed on a German business news channel and I remember him saying that if fedex had tried a similar purchase they wouldn't block it because they (FDX) have a smaller footprint in the EU. Besides, today tnt is a much smaller, and profitable, company. The deal most definitely will get approved.
