MONTERREY, Mexico, July 3 (Reuters) - Mexico's Cemex, the world's No. 3 cement company, said on Friday it was considering legal action against Strabag (STRV.VI: Quote, Profile, Research) over a failed asset sale to the Austrian builder.

Strabag dropped its plan to buy Cemex's (CMXCPO.MX: Quote, Profile, Research)(CX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) units for 310 million euros ($435 million) because it did not get Austrian anti-trust officials approval by a June 30 deadline.
