(13 November 2007) The EWC discussed the proposed merger between Suez and GdF and its consequences for Suez Environment. The new project foresees in bringing 65% of the shares of the company to the stock exchange. This raises concerns regarding protection of employment, guarantees for the agreements which have been reached and the long-term strategy of the key investors. The EWC received a presentation from Secafi-Alpha on several outstanding questions. It also held a discussion with the CEO of Suez, Mr. Mestrallet. He stressed that there will be no job losses as a consequence of the merger. A key issue is the business plan for the new group providing details of branch level and country level development and investment. This will be discussed with the EWC..
A further meeting of the EWC of Suez will be organised. The meeting took place 9 November 2007, Paris. EPSU was represented by Nadja Salson.
