EU competition enforcers, which in February voiced concerns about possible price hikes and fewer choices for consumers as a result of the deal, halted their investigation on April 7 while waiting for the companies to provide data.

Companies in recent merger deals have been given more time to reply to information requests because of the coronavirus outbreak.

EssilorLuxottica, which makes eyewear for luxury brands such as Chanel, Prada (HK:1913) and Versace (N:CPRI), is also a retailer with a vast shop network.
