EU gives conditional approval to Glencore-Xstrata agreement

Glencore and Xstrata said last month they hoped the combined company, with a market capitalisation of around 67 billion euros (US$85.5 billion) and with a combined turnover of US$209.4 billion, could come into being by the end of the year.
