The European Commission formally warned Spain on June 4 for failing to implement the bloc's new capital requirements directive. The move follows Madrid's attempts to block a €16 billion ($18.6 billion) takeover bid by BBVA for Banco de Sabadell. The action targets Spanish domestic measures that the Commission claims are incompatible with the new CRD VI framework governing acquisitions and mergers.
