Veolia: In Contradiction With Its Communication and to the Detriment of Its Shareholders, Suez Still Seems to Want to Do Everything Possible to Make It Impossible to Reach an Agreement with Veolia
(Paris:VIE):
In a succession of press releases characteristic of the last few weeks and without taking into account the evolution of the situation, Suez announced this morning that it wished to reach a negotiated solution with Veolia, while confirming that it had signed an agreement with the Australian operator Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd. for the sale of its waste activities in Australia, which had been clearly identified as strategic by Veolia as soon as its industrial project was announced and in the offer filed with the AMF (French Stock Exchange Authority) on February 8.
