All

I talked to the Trustee late Friday. They are reluctant and not intending to
meet with anyone. The want to keep their independence although they did say
that at this point the process has been one sided. They are, however, very
interested in getting as much information as possible for us and others. We
should provide them copies of all the letters that we have sent to the MTF,
EdF, and PWC as they have not received any of that information as of yet.
With that we should include a cover note and points on the PIM that we have
not covered.

When questioned on what their role was, they explained that it was to monitor
the execution of EdF's responsibilities, set up the auction process and
perform the auction. They must insure that the product offered by EDF is
reasonably coherent with the conditions agreed to with the MTF, and finally
they must insure transparency.

On the possibilities to changes certain terms conditions in the decision.
Their role is to ensure that the remedy as agreed is followed through (they
have no power to ensure that the greater purpose of the remedy - i.e. promote
competition is fulfilled). Thus any fundamental changes on conditions that
were precisely stated in the remedy (i.e. noon notification and price level -
stated in the confidential version of the decision) will unlikely be changed,
on these issues we can give it a go, but I see very little probability for
success. Other issues that have not been well defined such as the schedule,
type of auction (SMP vs PAB) could possibly be influenced.

Bruno,

Let's send before meeting with the Trustee a letter similar to EdF and PWC
letters, but incorporating comments on the PIM.

Let's prepare a draft tomorrow, that we will circulate within the group.

Thanks

Pierre
