PARIS (Reuters) – The chief executive of Veolia said on Monday he would get in touch with the boss of waste and water management rival Suez to define how to start a dialogue between the two companies.<\/p>\n

Suez has for months been resisting a takeover bid from Veolia, its longstanding competitor, which is also now its biggest shareholder with a 29.9% stake.<\/p>\n

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told RTL radio he remained in favour of a friendly deal between the two utility giants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are strategic businesses. We have two world leaders, Veolia and Suez. I have always called for a friendly merger,\u201d Le Maire said.<\/p>\n

Suez said on Sunday it had received a letter of intent from private equity groups Ardian and GIP (Global Infrastructure Partners), including an offer by these investors for Suez shares at a price of 18 euros ($22) per share.<\/p>\n

It added it was now willing to open a dialogue with Veolia with the aim of resolving the matter in the interest of all concerned parties.<\/p>\n

But Veolia CEO Antoine Frerot, while open to dialogue with Suez, told a conference call he believed that Ardian and GIP\u2019s proposal to invest in Suez was still not an alternative to Veolia\u2019s own plan to takeover Suez.<\/p>\n

Veolia bought its stake in Suez in October as a prelude to a full takeover offer at 18 euros per share, valuing the company at 11.3 billion euros.<\/p>\n

Suez shares ended up 3.2% at 17.5 euros on the Paris stock market while Veolia was down 1.8% at 22.7 euros.<\/p>\n
