[HIGHLIGHTS] When an EDF executive breaks the silence on the Arabelle file

The takeover of GE's nuclear branch by EDF is at a standstill. “It’s a state-to-state question,” said an executive from the group.

EDF maintains absolute discretion, fearing to offend the American authorities (Ofac) who are blocking the file. It is no longer a question of financial negotiation between GE and EDF, but rather geopolitics between the United States, France and Russia. "We remain confident. We do not control the calendar,” he added.
