MILAN, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Italian oil and gas group Eni 
 ENI.MI  said on Tuesday it had reached an agreement with 
Algeria's Sonatrach over gas supplies for the gas year 
2016-2017. 
    No financial details were provided. 
    Eni, the biggest foreign oil and gas operator in Africa, 
said the agreement covered almost 20 percent of the gas imported 
into Italy. 
    "I am particularly pleased with the closing of the 
renegotiation on the gas supply contract and the level of the 
strategic partnership with Sonatrach," Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi 
said.
