</FONT>

<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B><I>&#147;The investment in Union Fenosa Gas represents a milestone in the growth strategy in the gas<BR>
sector at European and International level&#148;, declared Vittorio Mincato, CEO of Eni</I></B>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Eni has entered into an agreement with Uni&#243;n Fenosa, S.A. for the acquisition
of 50% of Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas. The transaction will be implemented through a share
capital increase of Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas underwritten by Eni for a total
consideration of <FONT face="Times New Roman,Times">&#128;</FONT> 440&nbsp;million.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The asset value attributed to Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas amounts to <FONT face="Times New Roman,Times">&#128;</FONT> 930&nbsp;million.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Eni will contribute to the Joint Venture its large experience as international
player in the natural gas business, as the largest oil and gas producer in
Egypt and largest gas marketer in Europe. In the Iberian Peninsula Eni already
operates with gas sales in Spain, expected to reach 1.7 bcm per year by 2004,
and it is the strategic partner of Galpenergia with its 33.4% participation.
The strategic partnership with Galpenergia, to which will be offered the
possibility to participate to common projects, will allow the development of
potential synergies between Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas and Galpenergia.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas holds all the gas interests of Uni&#243;n Fenosa and will operate
in the whole gas chain from natural gas acquisition at source to the sale of
gas to power stations and other end-customers. Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas will benefit
from the upcoming liberalisation of the Spanish gas market from 2003 and from
the growth of natural gas consumption which is expected to increase by 10%
average per year up to 42 bcm by 2010.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas has a 25-year contract, with an option for a 25&nbsp;year
extension, involving a minimum of 4 bcm per year with the Egyptian Natural Gas
Holding Company (EGAS). The company is also building a liquefaction plant with
a capacity of more than 7 bcm per year in Damietta, on the Egyptian coast. In
addition, in May 2002 Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas signed an agreement with the Government
of the Sultanate of Oman to develop a joint venture in the gas sector,
including the participation in a new liquefaction plant in Oman, which is
expected to start operations from 2006. From then onwards, a long-term contract
will guarantee further 2.2 bcm per year for a 20-year period.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Moreover, Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas has two LNG Time-Charters contracted for 25&nbsp;years
and will have consistent regasification capacity. Also, Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas
currently holds a 21% stake in Reganosa and a 50% stake in Sagunto
regasification plants, which will start operations in 2005.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas will serve the Spanish market with an expected sales share of
15% and will also be active in other international markets.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In particular, Uni&#243;n Fenosa Gas will sell 2.5 bcm of gas per year to Union
Fenosa CCGT plants.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>&#147;The investment in Union Fenosa Gas represents for Eni a milestone of its
growth strategy in the gas sector at European and International level,
strengthening our position in the LNG market&#148;, declared Vittorio Mincato, CEO
of Eni. The Damietta liquefaction plant will play a fundamental role in
contributing to a faster monetisation of Eni gas reserves in Egypt. Moreover

Iberian and International market &#151; said Honorato L&#243;pez Isla, CEO of Unione
Fenosa &#151; for its strategic vision, sound financial position and ample
background and experience in the gas industry. This transaction is part of
Uni&#243;n Fenosa&#146;s current strategy to focus on developing its core business in the
Iberian market, taking advantage from the ongoing liberalisation process and
the power and gas convergence as a central point for future growth and
shareholder&#146;s value creation&#148;.</I>
