BRUSSELS: CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd will try to convince European Union regulators at a meeting next week to ease objections to its £10.3bil (RM59.83bil) takeover of Telefonica's O2, a person familiar with the matter said. 

The closed-door March 7 hearing, organised by the European Commission, will also be attended by British pay TV company Sky Liberty Global-owned cable TV network Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Vodafone and BT, the person said.
