BRUSSELS, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Hong Kong-listed mining and metals company MMG's 1208.HK plan to buy Anglo American's AAL.L nickel business in Brazil could enable MMG to divert ferronickel from European markets and hurt European stainless stell production, EU antitrust regulators said on Tuesday.
The warning from the European Commission, which acts as the EU competition enforcer, came as it opened an in-depth investigation into the deal.
