Swedish securities council-VW can up Scania stake

STOCKHOLM, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Sweden's securities council on Friday said it had given German auto giant Volkswagen permission to raise its stake in truck maker Scania without needing to make a bid for the whole firm.

The council said Volkswagen already had permission to own as much as 49.99 percent of voting rights in the Swedish firm without making a bid.

It said the new dispensation covered an increase in Volkswagen's holding "without limits".
