The European Commission has approved the acquisition of Willis Towers Watson by Aon if the latter complies with a “substantial set of commitments”, including the divestment of central parts of Willis’s business to AJ Gallagher.

The Commission said Aon’s commitments would strengthen AJ Gallagher in reinsurance and commercial risk brokerage, as well as improve its footprint in the European Economic Area, thereby making it a “credible alternative to the combined entity post-transaction”.
