MOSCOW, July 28 (Reuters) - Russia's En+ Group  ENPLq.L 
said on Tuesday it backed a call to overhaul the management of
Norilsk Nickel (Nornickel)  GMKN.MM  after a major fuel spill in
the Arctic at one of the nickel producer's plants. 
    Russian aluminium giant Rusal  0486.HK , a subsidiary of En+
that has a stake in Nornickel, called this month for management
changes at Nornickel, after 21,000 tonnes of diesel leaked into
rivers and subsoil on May 29 in the Arctic city of Norilsk.

    "We don't diverge in our views," En+ Chairman Gregory Barker
told Reuters. "We have pressed the management of Norilsk
(Nickel) to accede to requests for an independent review with
the appointment of an independent environmental oversight
committee."
