In reports on Reuters Oracle is tipped to make a presentation on 10 December to rebut some of the competition fears that have been raised by the EU.
The investigation was kicked-off in September after the Commission and ever since a war of words has ensued with the EU competition commissioner Neelie Kroes putting the pressure on the US vendor.
