Naturgy appoints former Italian PM Letta as board member
Naturgy appoints former Italian PM Letta as board member MADRID, June 18 (Reuters) - Spanish power company Naturgy NTGY.MC on Thursday appointed former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta as an independent board member as part of a wider reshuffle of its board of directors.
The board also agreed to abolish reinforced majority voting, so decisions will now be taken by ordinary majority, Naturgy said in a statement.
Letta, of Italy's centre-left Democratic Party, led a coalition government for eight months in 2013-2014.
He had previously served as minister of Industry in Italy and member of the European Parliament.
Spain's former Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez also once served as an independent board member at the company, when it was still known by its previous name, Gas Natural Fenosa.
