BRUSSELS, April 19 (Reuters) - The European Commission warned the Netherlands on Thursday not to discriminate against bids for ABN AMRO (AAH.AS: Quote, Profile, Research) amid concerns about the Dutch central bank's opposition to a consortium of potential buyers. "All bids should be assessed in a non-discriminatory way," said Oliver Drewes, a spokesman for European Internal Market Commissioner Charlie McCreevy. The Dutch central bank, which would have to approve any deal, said on Wednesday that a joint takeover offer by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L: Quote, Profile, Research), Fortis (FOR.BR: Quote, Profile, Research) and Banco Santander (SAN.MC: Quote, Profile, Research) would entail "strong risks and complications". Separately, British bank Barclays (BARC.L: Quote, Profile, Research) is in exclusive talks to take over ABN AMRO.
