VISIT BY EDF. BENJAMIN SPOKE TODAY TO STONES AND RAVIER

ABOUT THIS. WE IMAGINE THERE WOULD STILL BE ADVANTAGE IN EDF

BRIEFING UMELCO BEFORE THE DEBATE ON 16 JULY, IF THIS IS

POSSIBLE, AND THE PURPOSE OF BENJAMIN'S CALL TO STONES WAS TO

ENCOURAGE AN EARLY RESPONSE ON HIS PART TO EDF. THIS APPEARS

THE BEST ROUTE TO ENSURE A POSITIVE REACTION FROM EDF, GIVEN

EDF'S SENSITIVITIES ABOUT THEIR FORMAL ROLE AS ADVISER TO THE

JVC. WE HAVE ALSO ENCOURAGED STONES TO CLARIFY QUICKLY THE

GENERAL COVERAGE OF THE EDF PRESENTATION.

2

GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW OUTCOME OF UMELCO'S

CONSIDERATION OF THE EDF OFFER ASAP. EVEN IF THEY ARE SCEPTICAL,

IT WOULD APPEAR IN UMELCO'S INTEREST AT LEAST TO HEAR WHAT.EDF

HAVE TO SAY.

FOR PEKING
