I don't think it would be an EU matter, more an Ofcom one as only the UK is affected. The duplication wouldn't be in mobile (assuming market share is not an issue which I doubt) but in fibre infrastructure, backhaul for mobile providers etc.
I could see a Ziggo-type model in the UK with VM TV/broadband being cross-sold to Vodafone mobile customers whilst both brands are retained. EE could remain VM's mobile carrier until the contract expires.
