BRUSSELS, Nov 17 (Reuters) - European Union competition regulators have no date set for a decision on the restructuring of troubled Anglo-Irish Bank, the EU's competition commissioner said on Wednesday.
'We received recently the proposal for a restructuring plan, coming from the Irish authorities, we have started the analysis of this restructuring plan,' Commissioner Joaquin Almunia told a news briefing.
He said the European Commission was in contact with the Irish government on support for its troubled banks, but it was too soon to say how the situation would develop.
'We have no date for a decision, of course, given the situation in Ireland, a decision should come as rapidly as possible, but at the same time we cannot anticipate the conclusion of the conversations.' Keywords: EU ANGLOIRISH/
