Earlier this month, the European Commission began an in-depth investigation of IBM's June bid to buy the company after an initial examination found that IBM and Telelogic were direct rivals. The EU warned that the deal could give IBM too much power in the European software-development market.

The EU has set a Feb. 20 deadline by which to reject or approve the deal.

Yes, I expect they will eliminate several of the weaker ones after Merging DOORS and a couple others with their Rational suite. Hence the EU's consern about reducing competiion...
