布鲁塞尔，10月8日——香港上市的矿业和金属公司MMG（1208.HK）周四指责欧盟反垄断监管机构忽视证据，称其对安格鲁美洲（AAL.L）巴西镍业务的收购并不会将供应从欧洲转向中国。
BRUSSELS, Oct 8 - Hong Kong-listed mining and metals company MMG (1208.HK) accused EU antitrust regulators on Thursday of ignoring evidence that its bid for Anglo American's (AAL.L) Brazilian nickel business would not divert supplies from Europe to China.
此番评论是在为期一天的听证会后发表的，会上MMG和安格鲁美洲为这笔5亿美元的交易在欧盟反垄断监管机构面前进行辩护，出席的还有欧盟委员会的最高合并官员Guillaume Loriot。
The comments came after a day-long hearing at which MMG and Anglo American defended the $500 million deal before EU antitrust regulators, including the European Commission's top merger official, Guillaume Loriot.
MMG企业关系执行总经理Troy Hey向记者表示：“委员会决定展开深入调查，并指控有将铁镍供应从欧洲转移的计划，根本没有依据。”
"The Commission's decision to open an in-depth inquiry and the allegations of a plan to divert supply of ferronickel from Europe are fundamentally unsupported," MMG's executive general manager for corporate relations Troy Hey told reporters.
他说：“委员会选择性地使用了MMG及其大股东提供的20多万份文件中的两段片面且误导性的引用，而忽视了所有其他相反的证据、经济和市场分析。”
"The Commission has selectively used two partial and misleading quotations from over 200,000 documents supplied by MMG and its major shareholder — while ignoring all the other evidence, economic and market analysis to the contrary," he said.
欧盟竞争监管机构上月警告称，MMG可能会将铁镍供应转移出欧洲，可能损害欧盟不锈钢生产商的利益。此案正值欧盟对关键矿产对中国依赖的更广泛担忧之际。
The Commission, the EU's competition watchdog, warned last month that MMG could redirect ferronickel supplies away from Europe, potentially harming the bloc's stainless steel producers. The case comes amid broader EU concerns about dependence on China for critical minerals.
Hey还指责委员会自去年11月启动全面调查以来，忽视了市场发展以及其委托的独立市场分析。
Hey also accused the Commission of ignoring market developments since opening a full-scale investigation in November and the independent market analysis it had commissioned.
他说，商品交易商Glencore和Trafigura已致信委员会，表示他们有信心MMG会继续向他们供货。
He said commodities traders Glencore and Trafigura had written to the Commission saying they were confident MMG would continue supplying them.
Hey表示，MMG愿意解决委员会的所有关切，暗示公司可能在未来几周内提出补救措施。
Hey said MMG was willing to address all of the Commission's concerns, suggesting it may be prepared to offer remedies in the coming weeks.
据路透社周三看到的预先准备好的发言内容，安格鲁美国巴西公司首席运营官鲁本·费尔南德斯和首席财务官克里斯蒂娜·摩根预计将在听证会上告诉监管机构，阻止该交易很可能会迫使该矿山关闭。
Anglo American Brazil Chief Operating Officer Ruben Fernandes and Chief Financial Officer Cristina Morgan were expected to tell regulators at the hearing that blocking the deal would likely force the mine to close, according to prepared remarks seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
