BRUSSELS, March 30 (Reuters) - European broadcaster RTL

has offered to address competition concerns over its

Sky Deutschland acquisition, EU antitrust regulators said on

Monday, seeking early approval for the deal.

The deal would help RTL, which is majority-owned by German media

group Bertelsmann, to compete with U.S. heavyweights

Netflix ( NFLX ), Disney ( DIS ) and Amazon Prime in

Germany. Sources told Reuters last week that RTL was poised to

offer concessions.

Acquiring Sky Deutschland would give RTL local access to

Sky's premium sports rights, including Bundesliga and Premier

League soccer as well as Formula 1 motor racing. It would also

provide access to Sky's WOW streaming service.

"We can confirm that the parties have submitted

commitments. The provisional deadline for the Commission to take

a decision is now April 22," a European Commission spokesperson

said in an email without disclosing details of the remedies.

Reuters was unable to reach an RTL spokesperson for

immediate comment.

A possible concession to address competition concerns could be

an offer by RTL to outsource advertising sales to third parties,

people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters last

week.

RTL has 52 TV channels, six streaming services and 40 radio

stations in Germany, France, Hungary and Luxembourg.
