Lufthansa is ready to make new
sacrifices on Fiumicino's routes to the United States in order
to get Brussels' approval for ITA Airways deal.
According to EU sources, "negotiations continue" and "an
orientation" on the verdict "will be taken after the European
elections". Lufthansa intends to freeze for two years the
alliance with Ita for long routes from Italy to North America.
The offer so far has been considered insufficient by the EU.
Attempting a final mediation, Lufthansa added further
guarantees. The announcement of the EU decision is expected by
July 4.
