Suez SA said Tuesday that it continues to participate in discussions with interested parties regarding the future development of the nuclear energy sector in the U.K., including discussions relating to British Energy
Suez was responding to recent press comment and speculation concerning its intentions in relation to British Energy. Suez understands that these could be interpreted incorrectly as meaning that SUEZ is not involved in the current discussions relating to British Energy and the nuclear energy sector in the U.K.
As previously indicated by Suez, the completion of the merger with Gaz de France remains Suez's key priority and any decision related to British Energy would only be taken by the newly constituted Board of the merged company.
