RWE has stated that it is considering the future of all of its activities outside Europe and North
America. Apart from some contracts in the USA and Puerto Rico in 2003 and the sale of its stake in
FCC in 2004, VE has concentrated on divesting its engineering activities rather than closing down its
international activities. This may reflect the frustration the company felt when it divested its minority
stakes in UK companies in 2001-02 to prepare for the acquisition of Southern Water only to have the
entire process thwarted by political interference.
Despite the changes and challenges of the past few years, Suez, VE and RWE have succeeded in
developing a significant global presence both in terms of numbers served and countries addressed. In
each case, this has been built upon a major presence in their home market. The other major
international companies are Bouygues, Agbar, United Utilities, Cascal (primarily Biwater as Nuon is
seeking to exit this sector), Earth Tech, Severn Trent and Tecasva. AWG is slowly selling off its
international activities. Beyond these companies, there is a dramatic fall-off in the number of people
served outside home markets. ACEA is not seeking further concessions in Latin America, but is
holding on to those it has already gained.
