The UK and 11 other EU countries have signaled their support for nuclear generation. Datamonitor expects benefits from such "soft" agreements to be long-term and to include easier access to funding and R&D sharing. In the short term, the UK government's new carbon price floor will make low-carbon generation, including nuclear, more attractive.

As part of its long-term environmental vision, P&G has announced that its manufacturing facility in Auburn, Maine, is the company's ninth global site to achieve zero-waste-to-landfill status to date. However, P&G's move towards becoming a zero-waste company is unlikely to resonate among consumers, given the equally ambitious environmental targets frequently set by rival FMCG companies.

Hungary-based MOL's long-held ambition of acquiring Croatian firm INA is one step closer to reality now that it has become the largest shareholder in the company, after purchasing many of the shares issued in a free float. Further talks are underway regarding MOL's desire to purchase some or all of Croatian government's remaining share, while Austria's OMV is keeping an unexpectedly low profile.

In the face of European Commission resistance, Austrian oil and gas company OMV has abandoned its protracted bid to acquire MOL, its Hungary-based rival. However, the EC may yet relax any restrictions placed on a potential merger, presenting OMV with another chance to acquire an MOL that could be left weakened by attempts to purchase Croatian oil firm INA.

Hungary's leading oil and gas company, MOL, objects strenuously to a potential acquisition by Austria's OMV and is partly relying upon the protectionist support of Hungary's socialist-led government to this end. This tactic, which is clearly against the spirit of EU energy liberalization, may backfire on MOL in the future.

Hungary highlights the problems faced by EU member states, especially the new accession countries that are trying to adopt EU energy laws. Like most EU members, Hungary's electricity market will be opened to competition from July 1, 2007. However, this may be compromised by the current nature of the region's energy sector, which suggests that the EU needs to improve its liberalized market agenda.

Rumors that Hungary is considering switching allegiances to Russia's Blue Stream pipeline extension from the Nabucco pipeline have emerged recently. These rumors are worrying to both the project's sponsors and EU officials, especially given Hungary's already strong relationship with Russia, and highlight the fact that domestic politics are still capable of trumping EU security of supply concerns.

Leading Russian oil producer Lukoil has entered into talks with ConocoPhillips to acquire some 380 filling stations under the Jet brand. This move illustrates the fact that, while the US giant begins a huge divesture program to fund upstream investments, Lukoil is heading downstream with a vengeance.

Changes in legislation regarding the sale of over-the-counter medicines in Hungary have led two of the country's fuel retailers to announce plans to begin selling non-prescription drugs. With the Hungarian over-the-counter medicines market forecast to see an average annual increase of 5% between 2005 and 2009, Agip and MOL are certain to experience healthy profits from this venture.
