The EU is weighing whether the deal would prevent other companies from bringing tests to market, will likely issue a so-called statement of objections.
Grail has no business in Europe, and a deal veto would delay the rollout of cancer tests in the region by many years, Illumina said in a briefing paper.
The EU's arguments that the deal may be anticompetitive are "highly speculative and unfounded by any evidence. This is not a 'killer acquisition' as Illumina and Grail are not competitors," said Illumina.
Illumina risks a potential $400 million fine.
