FRANKFURT, April 8 (Reuters) - German network regulating
agency the Bundesnetzagentur said on Friday it has appointed as
a general representative to help manage Gazprom Germania, which
was ditched by Russia's Gazprom  GAZP.MM  and brought under
state control on Monday. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL5N2W61ZJ
    "The general representative is Egbert Laege. He is a proven
expert in the energy industry and a former board member of the
European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) bourse," the regulator said in
a statement.
    In a letter earlier on Friday, the authority had appealed to
gas market operators to keep cooperating with Gazprom Germania,
a trading, storage and transmission business, saying it was
crucial to the function of the European gas market and beyond.
