摘要

It is tempting to reduce Veolia's response to Suez announcing a comprehensive basis for new talks earlier this month (see main story) to two words: "not interested". The rest of the release, after all, details exactly why Ardian and GIP's offer is unacceptable, and which concessions Suez must make before Veolia demns to sit at the table.
