		</div><p>German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said Europe may need to rethink its competition rules if it wants to create companies that can play a significant role on the global stage.</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel&#8217;s comments at a digital business conference in Berlin come two weeks after European Union antitrust authorities blocked a deal to create a rail giant that could compete with China.</p>
<p>Merging the high-speed train businesses of France&#8217;s Alstom and Germany&#8217;s Siemens was seen as an opportunity to prepare for the global expansion of China&#8217;s CRRC Corporation.</p>
<p>Without directly mentioning the failed deal, Mrs Merkel said the EU&#8217;s stance on competition &#8220;leaves me in doubt about whether we can really produce global players this way&#8221;.</p>
<p>She added that &#8220;for this we would first have to get European willingness to change competition law&#8221;.</p>
