GDF Suez Says Interested in Some of Areva's Activities

French gas and power group GDF Suez is interested in some of the activities of nuclear firm Areva, a spokesman for the company told Reuters on Monday.

 

He declined to comment on a report in French financial daily Les Echos which said that GDF Suez - which is changing its name to Engie - had mandated Credit Agricole (XCA.F), Rothschild, Greentech Capital Advisors and Gimar to study a possible acquistion of some of Areva's services to the nuclear industry.
