June 15, 06 / Full merger project between Gaz de France and Suez
Gérard Mestrallet, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Suez, and Jean-François Cirelli, Chairman & Chief Executive, Officer Gaz de France, would like to reiterate in the strongest possible way, that the only project they are working on and which has been approved by the two companies’ boards, is the full merger between them. This project has been under consideration and preparation for many months.They would like to point out that, in the current extremely competitive energy sector environment, the only project possible is a full merger of the two groups which would allow them to retain their industrial assets, maximise synergies and in the short and medium term defend the interests of their clients and employees.
No other option is realistic for both companies, given their situation and that of the sector.
