European Union competition regulators approved on Tuesday Ford Motor Co.'s sale of its Volvo premium car unit to Chinese automaker Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. and state-owned investment group Daqing.

Investigation concluded that the proposed deal would not significantly impede competition in Europe, the EU executive body said in a statement.

Geely's $1.8 billion takeover of Sweden-based Volvo was agreed in March and represents China's biggest overseas auto purchase to date.

The deal is seen as a further milestone in China's emergence as an auto powerhouse, after the country overtook the United States as the world's biggest car market last year.

The Volvo-Geely deal is expected to be finalized sometime during the Q3, Ford of Europe CEO John Fleming told the Automotive News Europe Congress late last month.
