EU sets June 12 deadline to rule on EEX's planned Nasdaq deal
The European Commission is due to rule on June 12 on whether to approve the European Energy Exchange's (EEX) planned acquisition of Nasdaq's European power trading and clearing business, according to a regulatory filing. The EU's antitrust regulators had said last year that the planned acquisition of that Nasdaq division by EEX, which is part of Deutsche Boerse, would need regulatory approval due to its importance to Europe's energy market. The transaction was first announced in June 2023 and it is due to result in Nasdaq transferring its European power trading and clearing business to the EEX.

Cows controlled with GPS tracker which plays Waltzing Matilda
Farmers are controlling cows with a GPS tracker that plays Waltzing Matilda when they get too close to a virtual fence. The musical warning has allowed farmers to track their livestock via an app in a unique scheme developed with an environmental charity. Blue Carbon Farming in Steart, Somerset, has begun working with the Wildlife and Wetlands Trust (WWT) to allow cattle to graze in wetlands and saltmarsh for the first time in 30 years. Andy Darch, 39, founded the company in 2023 with co-owners Matt Hilton and Sam Passmore, and says that the experience has been a "fantastic opportunity." The areas had been previously thought to be too dangerous for cattle to graze, due to their treacherous terrain and proximity to the sea - but the farmers have begun utilising an app and NoFence collars to track the cows location and warn them away from danger. If a cow approaches the "virtual fence" - the boundary determined by the farmers - its collar will play the tune Waltzing Matilda to warn it away from the area.
