Bob: Now there's the real reason! If there are two new softs entities, then
ENA and ECTRIC lose the netting benefits. The tax issues are transparent
(it's like the two credit derivative entities). Who is involved from
credit? We need to discuss the structures with them because credit may be
concerned about the loss of netting privileges.

Also, we need to verify that US entity softs trades will be USD based and the
European softs entity will settle in Euro or GBP. It seems obvious but a US
entity could routinely settle in a currency other than USD. SS

Just so you have the answers.


Products will be settled in the currency they are traded in....that is USD,
Euro or GBP
We would intend the new Enron softs entity to be a US entity and that the UK
trading would be done through the arranger....EEFT.


I am presently looking at another structure, that if it can be done
technically then I will go for that.

Lets discuss when you are out of your meeting.
