PARIS, Aug 5 (Reuters) - French power group EDF denied on Friday an earlier Italian media report that it was considering a sale of its Italian arm Edison.

"EDF denies in full the information published today by the daily MF-Milano Finanza according to which the group is considering the sale of its subsidiary Edison," said an EDF spokesperson.

The French government is currently in the process of fully nationalising EDF. (Reporting by Juliette Jabkhiro; Editing by Sudip Kar-Gupta)
