Boeing has offered remedies to the European Commission as part of its effort to secure regulatory approval for its acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems.
The Commission has not disclosed the nature or extent of the remedies, but confirms that “commitments” were submitted on 22 September.
Boeing had formally notified the Commission of its proposed Spirit deal about a month earlier, in late August.
Earlier this month the Commission had stated that preliminary examination indicated that the planned acquisition could require further review.
But it added that it had reserved a final decision, and invited interested parties to submit observations on the tie-up.
The provisional deadline for a decision is 14 October.
Boeing has been pursuing the acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems – which has been under substantial financial pressure – to improve the efficiency and oversight of its production system.
This has led to the planned divestment of Spirit’s main Airbus-related activities, including production of the central fuselage of the A350 and the wings, and other structures, for the A220.
