This disadvantage may become an asset as FedEx seeks approval to buy TNT. The European Commission blocked UPS’s bid to buy TNT two years ago after it identified several countries where the company would face a single rival, said David Anderson, a lawyer at Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP in Brussels. FedEx’s frailty in these markets was the “main stumbling block.” “FedEx’s perceived weakness is now likely to be a strength in getting this new deal through,” Anderson said. [/QUOTE]
