PARIS, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The European Commission suspects the existence of cartels involved in manipulating lending benchmarks such as Libor and Euribor, the EU's antitrust chief said in a speech on Friday.
Joaquin Almunia said that, in contrast with the approach taken in the United States, EU regulators would seek to deal with all suspected cartel participants together.
