The event was attended by the two countries foreign ministers, Franco Frattini and Solomon Passy. This document, commented Piero Gnudi, forms the basis of the agreement signed by Enel and Nek for the creation of a joint venture to repower and operate the Maritza East III lignite plant in southern Bulgaria, which plays a strategic role in the supply of the countrys electricity. The MoU establishes that the joint objective of Enel and Nek in implementing the Maritza III project is to improve the competitiveness of the Bulgarian electricity market, thus enabling it to make a significant contribution to meeting the electricity needs of south-eastern Europe. The parties have also agreed that the Maritza III project will form the starting point for further cooperation between Italy and Bulgaria in the energy field, above all with regard to aspects of environmental protection and safeguards. The potential for other joint projects to be undertaken by Enel and Nek is therefore to be assessed.
