PARIS, Feb 8 (Reuters) - The board of water and waste
management group Suez unanimously considers a bid by
larger rival Veolia
Varin told a conference call that Veolia's offer of 18 euros
per share for the 70% of Suez it did not own was not equivalent
to the potential alternative offer by the Ardian-GIP consortium.
Veolia vowed on Monday to press ahead with its bid for
smaller rival Suez despite new legal hurdles and a government
warning over the increasingly hostile takeover
battle.
