Ceconomy CEC expects EU competition authorities to examine JD.com's 89618 plans to take it over, said the German company's CEO, Kai-Ulrich Deissner, on Thursday.

Given the size of the transaction, the plans are expected to fall under the purview of Brussels rather than Germany's federal cartel office, added Deissner in a conference call.

With its Chinese partner, Ceconomy will be able to grow faster and gain access to leading technologies, he added.

JD.com is acquiring Germany's Ceconomy in a deal that values the electronics retailer at 2.2 billion euros ($2.5 billion), allowing one of China's largest online retailers to expand outside of its home market.
