BRUSSELS, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Anglo American AAL.L has offered to buy ferronickel from MMG 1208.HK for resale in Europe for up to 10 years in a bid to ease EU antitrust concerns about the sale of its nickel business to a unit of the Hong Kong-listed company, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.
London-listed Anglo American announced the $500 million deal to sell its nickel business in Brazil in February. The European Commission is now examining the sale.
