PARIS - Incoming EDF chief executive Henri Proglio said he wanted to increase EDF's stake in his previous company Veolia Environnement without merging the two companies, according to a newspaper report. EDF, Europe's biggest power generator and operator of France's 58 nuclear reactors, should become "a partner in the development of Veolia", Proglio told Les Echos on Monday, his first day in his new post.
