Competition authorities for the European Union have sent around a second questionaire asking market participants about the impact of the proposed merger between Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1.XE) and NYSE Euronext (NYX), the Financial Times reports Friday.

Citing the questionnaire with 98 questions, the FT reports that market participants should say what they would need to be successful in derivatives trading. The paper adds the survey was sent around on Aug. 24 as part of the European Union regulator's intensified probe of the multi-billion-dollar deal between the two exchanges. Responses are due Friday, the FT says.

Critics such as the London Stock Exchange (LSE.LN) have argued that the proposed tie-up between Frankfurt and New York would create a near-monopoly in financial futures, making it hard for competitors to make inroads in these markets.

A spokesman for Deutsche Boerse declined to comment Friday.
