Stock exchange operators NYSE Euronext (NYX) and Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1.XE) Wednesday said they have formally asked the European Commission to approve their planned merger.

The request triggered the formal start of an antitrust review in Europe, both companies said Wednesday in a joint statement.

On July 7, NYSE Euronext's board will gather shareholders to get their approval for the merger.

Shareholders of Deutsche Boerse can tender their shares for exchange to the joint holding company of the two exchange operators until July 13.
