The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Vlaanderen Eén NV, by Mediahuis NV, both based in Belgium, Liberty Global, based in the UK, and NRJ Group, based in France.

Vlaanderen Eén is a commercial broadcaster operating Nostalgie Vlaanderen, a Dutch-language commercial radio station with access to FM frequencies enabling it to cover the entire territory of the Flemish Community in Belgium.

The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns, given Vlaanderen Eén's limited activities in the European Economic Area. The transaction was examined under the simplified merger control procedure.
