In an emailed statement, the regulator said: “Once the missing information is supplied by the parties, the clock is re-started and the deadline for the commission’s decision is adjusted accordingly.”

In February, Japan filed a petition with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) over the legitimacy of the merger.
