SYDNEY, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The European Commission may require Australian packaging group Amcor Ltd (AMC.AX) to divest one packaging plant in return for approval of its $2 billion acquisition of Alcan assets, Amcor said on Thursday.

In August, Amcor agreed to buy the Alcan packaging assets from miner Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) (RIO.L), turning it into a leading global player in key packaging markets.

Amcor said the possible divestment accounted for sales revenue of less than $100 million.
