BRUSSELS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Tuesday it was confident that measures by the Belgian, French and Luxembourg governments to rescue financial services group Dexia will comply with EU competition rules.

"We are expecting notification of the measures taken shortly. At this stage we have no reason to believe that there would be any incompatibility with the state aid rules," a Commission spokesman said.

Dexia got a capital boost of 6.4 billion euros ($9.18 billion) on Tuesday from Belgium, France, Luxembourg and key shareholders.
