SYDNEY (Reuters) - Global miner BHP Billiton (BHP.AX: Quote, Profile, Research) Ltd/Plc (BHP.AX: Quote, Profile, Research) (BLT.L: Quote, Profile, Research) called off its $58 billion (38 billion pound) bid for rival Rio Tinto (RIO.AX: Quote, Profile, Research) (RIO.L: Quote, Profile, Research) on Tuesday, citing worsening market conditions and demands for asset sales from European regulators.
BHP Billiton said the European Commission wanted divestments in both iron ore and coal as a condition of the deal.
Iron ore was one of the main reasons behind BHP's audacious bid, which ranked as one of the world's top-three takeovers in history when launched last year, ahead of a dive in metal prices.
