PARIS (Reuters) - The French state will be vigilant over engagements that water and waste firm Veolia (PA:VIE) makes regarding keeping jobs and key activities in France as part of its offer to buy Engie's (PA:ENGIE) stake in Suez (PA:SEVI), Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Monday.
Veolia on Sunday offered to buy a 29.9% stake in smaller peer Suez from Engie for 2.9 billion euros, saying it aimed to create a "world champion of ecological transformation".
