BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Thyssenkrupp (DE:TKAG) and Tata Steel have offered concessions to address EU antitrust concerns about their planned steel joint venture, the European Commission said on Tuesday.

The EU competition regulator, which did not provide details of the concessions, extended its deadline for a decision on the deal to June 5 from May 13.

It has previously voiced concerns about the deal's impact on steel for car parts, packaging such as food and aerosol cans and electrical steel for engineering products including transformers.
