PARIS, May 23 (Reuters) - The French state will request
a squeeze-out for the shares in energy giant EDF  EDF.PA  which
it does not already own, said EDF, citing a filing from France's
AMF stock market regulator.
    Following the re-opening of its buyout offer, the state now
owns 3,908,590,275 EDF shares, representing 97.69% of its share
capital and at least 98.04% of its voting rights, added EDF.
