Goldman, Merrill, UBS to Set Up Europe Trading Link, Paper Says Dusseldorf, Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Merrill Lynch & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, J.P. Morgan & Co. and Switzerland's UBS AG plan to create a separate European share trading platform to compete with local exchanges, German daily newspaper Handelsblatt reported, citing unidentified bankers familiar with the plan. The U.S. companies and Europe's second-biggest bank are looking for additional partners in Germany, the newspaper said, adding that the share trading platform should be operational sometime next year. Merrill last week bought a 14.3 percent stake in Archipelago, an electronic trading firm, joins Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and others as investors in Archipelago, which has applied with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a for-profit stock exchange and compete head-on with the New York Stock Exchange
