CDP Investimenti SGR (CDR) is reportedly still in talks to acquire a stake in Ansaldo Energia S.p.A. from Finmeccanica SpA and is open to new industrial partners, CDR's Chief Executive Officer, Giovanni Gorno Tempini said in an interview with Reuters. "We are negotiating," Tempini said. "Conditions are in place to allow AnsaldoEnergia to continue to grow and we have nothing against possible cooperation deals with other industrial partners with a global reach." However, press reports said that CDP could pull out of the race for Ansaldo Energia leaving only Siemens AG, Doosan Corporation and Samsung Electronics Co.

Ltd. in the running.
