E.ON continues to expect higher Group internal operating profit for 2001


Degussa expects its internal operating profit to come in markedly below the prior-year figure


Owing to a considerably deteriorated market environment, Degussa, E.ON?s Chemicals Division, expects its internal operating profit to come in markedly below the prior-year figure.

Despite this downward revision, E.ON continues to anticipate that Group internal operating profit for 2001 will markedly surpass the previous year?s number.
