German utility giant E.ON spokesman Peter Blau (L), Chief Executive Wulf Bernotat and board member Lutz Feldmann prepare for a news conference in Madrid April 3, 2007. Spain's biggest power company Endesa will be broken up after a last-minute deal between three companies fighting to control it, and the Spanish government came under attack for its handling of the saga. Germany's E.ON on Monday admitted defeat in its attempt to buy Endesa and announced a deal with its erstwhile rivals Enel and Acciona to carve up the Spanish firm. REUTERS/Susana Vera (SPAIN)
