You do not need to read below, but the highlight is that the trade association, VIK, representing industrial users of energy, has walked away from the negotiations of a third-party access regime in the gas industry in Germany. This is a real political blow for the German Economics Ministry, which has been very resistant to regulated third-party access, in the belief that negotiations were the way to proceed. Just a brief update for all of you. mcs ---------------------- Forwarded by Mark Schroeder/LON/ECT on 19/12/2000 09:39 --------------------------- Viviana Florio 19/12/2000 09:07 To: Mark Schroeder/LON/ECT@ECT, Peter Styles/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: FYI: After yesterdays failure to make any progress: VIK steps out of Gas-VVII negotiations on improved grid access conditions Hello, sorry, I forgot to mention this at yesterday's staff meeting.

This decision was supposingly driven by board members of VIK today. From our prospective it is good news that VIK (finally) takes a stand to get some REAL improvement in the access conditions. Details psl see attached (german) press statement: Happy to answer any questions Carsten
