Table of Contents
• | The regulation of electricity and gas networks codified in Germany’s Energy Law 2005 requires that network charges be approved in advance. This poses a risk to our earnings situation, since it is becoming apparent that Germany’s Federal Network Agency is interpreting the law in a one-sided manner prejudicial to network operators. |
• | Germany’s Federal Cartel Office (FCO) issued an order prohibiting E.ON Ruhrgas from implementing existing long-term gas supply contracts. E.ON Ruhrgas filed an emergency appeal with the State Superior Court in Düsseldorf to prevent the order from taking immediate effect. The appeal was not successful. We are now concentrating our efforts on the main case before the State Superior Court whose decision can be appealed to the German Federal Appeals Court. We expect that the main case will provide our customers and us with a thorough legal clarification and therefore the necessary legal assurance, in particular about the permissibility of the competitive injunction issued against us by the FCO. In accordance with the terms of the FCO’s order, we are in the meantime offering our resellers affected by the order new gas supply contracts for the period after October 1, 2006.The offer has been well received. |

For 2006, we expect Central Europe’s adjusted EBIT to be slightly above the prior-year level. We expect to offset the adverse affects of regulatory measures affecting our network business by achieving operating improvements in other areas.
