MILAN (Thomson Financial) - Snam Rete Gas SpA CEO Carlo Malacarne said the
group is ready to evaluate opportunities regarding any eventual sale of gas
distribution assets by Enel SpA.
"I have no information on the deal but we are ready to evaluate all
possibilities," Malacarne said in a conference call with analysts.
Enel CEO Fulvio Conti recently said his group might consider disposing of
its gas distribution assets in an effort to reduce debt.
Analysts have said the assets could be worth up to 2.5 billion euros.
