"We have an interest to do this as fast as possible," Christian Bruch told analysts during the group's capital markets day, adding the sooner a deal could be done, the faster operational problems at Siemens Gamesa could be fixed.

"It could get faster ... but we're obviously not alone in control of the timescale," Bruch said.
