L.V.I. HOLDING: S&P Lifts Long-Term Corporate Rating to BB-
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised to 'BB-' from 'B+' its
long-term corporate rating on L.V.I. Holding N.V., the holding
company of the Carmeuse group, a Belgium-based lime producer.

The rating was removed from CreditWatch where it had been placed
with positive implications on May 3.  The outlook is positive.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's raised to 'BB-' from 'B+'
its rating on the EUR175 million senior secured notes issued by
Carmeuse Lime B.V. and guaranteed by L.V.I., and assigned its
recovery rating of '2' to the notes, indicating the expectation
of substantial 80%-100% recovery of principal in the event of a
payment default.

The upgrade reflects the Carmeuse group's:

   -- markedly improved cash flow ratios;
   -- enhanced financial flexibility;
   -- U.S. unit's substantially improved EBITDA margin;
   -- clearer, tighter financial policy; and
   -- increase in fully-owned entities.

The group had total debt outstanding of about EUR450 million at
end-March 2006.

"The positive outlook reflects the potential for a one-notch
upgrade if the group maintains its financial policy and
continues to post positive free operating cash flow," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Khaled Zitouni.  In particular,
this would require maintenance of an FFO-to-adjusted debt ratio
of about 25%-30%.

STROMSDAL OYJ: Raising Capital to Improve Cash Shortage
-------------------------------------------------------
Stromsdal Corp. will implement a directed share issue for its
shareholders and for Finnish and international investors in
order to improve its capital structure and cash situation.

Simultaneously, a Compensation Issue for consolidating the
shares series and a Conversion Issue for converting Juankosken
Kehitysmasuuni Oy's subordinated loan into shares will be
carried out.

The Offer Period will run from June 15 to June 27 at 4:00 p.m.,
Finnish time.

                      Tight Liquidity

In its prospectus related to the planned share issues, the
Company revealed tight liquidity since 2003 due to low
profitability of the Company's major investments made in 2003
and losses from the pulp hedging.  The pulp hedging was
discontinued in December 2005 and is no longed used by the
Company.  The Company has matured payables to providers of raw
materials and services representing, on the average, two to four
weeks of purchases.

"The liquidity of the Company is currently very tight.  It is
estimated the planned share issues shall result into a EUR7
million financing for the Company," the Company said.  "In
addition, the Company and its main financier have agreed on a
EUR2 million financing, which is conditional only to the
fulfillment of the share issues.  In addition, the Company and
its main financier are currently negotiating an optional EUR2
million financing, which would be available until the
liquidation situation of the Company has been stabilized."

                  Loan Repayment Postponed

In connection with the share issues and other planned
arrangements, the Company and its main financiers have also
agreed on postponing the repayment of loan capital until the end
of 2007.  Repayment schedule to the loan capital repayments will
be negotiated during the period.  The agreement also includes
commitment from one main financier to provide an additional EUR2
million working capital to the Company and the respective
parties will continue negotiations about additional financing.  
The agreement is conditional only to the decision by the
Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting on combining the share series
and Institution Issue and subscription of Institution Issue for
minimum amount.

The management of the Company estimates that the working capital
of the Company is not sufficient to fulfill the estimated needs
for the next 12 months.

The management of the Company however estimates that the working
capital of the Company is sufficient to fulfill the estimated
needs for the next 12 months, provided that the share issues are
successful at the minimum level and the agreement with the main
financiers is therefore effective.  The proceeds from the share
issues shall be used mainly to investments.

                   Weak Second Quarter Results

Stromsdal's sales volume has been clearly lower than the year
before, even though the average sales prices have been clearly
higher.  The company has used shutdowns in order to restrict
production as the order backlog has been low.  The company faced
a two-day paper worker's strike in May, which caused a three-day
loss in production.  Some raw material prices have gone up,
especially the price of purchased pulp.

The order backlog is expected to improve only from the beginning
of the second half-year.

"It is possible that the whole year result in 2006 will not be
better than in 2005, even though the second half of the year is
expected to be clearly stronger both in volume terms and in
result terms," Aarno Laukkanen, Stromsdal's managing director
disclosed.  "The ongoing Turn-Around program will be continued
and its effects are expected to show during the second half of
the year."

Stromsdal Board of Directors has summoned an extraordinary
shareholders' meeting in order to decide, among other things, on
actions how to raise funds for the Turn-Around investments.

Headquartered in Juankoski, Finland, Stromsdal Oyj --
http://www.stromsdal.fi/-- develops and manufactures graphical  
board to paper merchants, printers, publishers and producers of
cartons and packages.  Graphical board is used in greeting cards
and postcards, posters, folders, and in covers of books,
different publications and catalogues.  Stromsdal also produces
board for luxury packaging, which includes the consumer packages
of liquor, cosmetics, chocolate and pharmaceutical.  Its
subsidiaries include Juantehtaan Ymparisto Oy and Stromsdal UK
Ltd.  Juantehtaan Ymparisto owns and leases industrial real
estates and land areas.  Stromsdal UK Ltd. (registered in
Blackburn) is a sales company in charge of selling the parent
company`s products in the UK and Ireland.

ALSTOM SA: Inks EUR400-Million U.K Power Plant Deal
---------------------------------------------------
Alstom S.A. has won a contract worth more than EUR400 million to
build a turnkey 885MW GT26-based combined-cycle power plant with
Centrica Langage Ltd. at Langage, Devon in the South West of
England.

Alstom will design, supply, install and commission the entire
power plant, including the site preparation, civil works and the
testing of the plant.  The company will supply two GT26-gas
turbines, one heat recovery steam generator, a single steam
turbine and a large air-cooled condenser.

Alstom will also provide maintenance support to Langage for an
initial 12-year period under a long-term service agreement.

The power plant will meet stringent environmental criteria and
be considerably smaller in size, height and area than similar
plants.  Environmental requirements for the plant mean that it
will achieve a very low level of NOx and CO emissions and will
be designed to blend in with the surroundings.

The South West region of the U.K. has little existing generation
capacity and the new plant will reduce the need to import power
from the rest of the country and hence reduce transmission
costs.

The plant is scheduled to be in commercial operation during
winter 2008/2009.  It is the first large-scale project to be
built in the U.K. for five years.

Today, there are 79 GT24/GT26 units in commercial operation and
the fleet has accumulated more than 1,800,000 fired hours.

"Winning this new contract strengthens our position in the U.K.
market, confirms the leadership of our best-in-class GT26-
turbines and highlights our ability as a plant integrator to
deliver turnkey plants on a fast-track basis," Philippe Joubert,
President of ALSTOM's Power Turbo-Systems/Power Environment
Sector said.

Walter Graenicher, President ALSTOM's Power Service Sector said:
"We are proud that Centrica has again entrusted ALSTOM with the
long term operation support and maintenance responsibility for
this new plant.  This success is based on our extensive
experience servicing F-Class GT/CC power plants, which Centrica
perceives as bringing high value that significantly supports the
success of their business."

ALSTOM SA: Unveils New Pendolino Trains
---------------------------------------
Alstom S.A. disclosed that the first of Transport's New
Pendolino high-speed tilting trains has left the Savigliano,
Italy workshop to begin testing on an international circuit in
the Czech Republic.

Before leaving, the train was officially presented to
authorities and media in Savigliano.  The New Pendolino,
designed by Giugiaro, was entirely manufactured in Transport's
Savigliano and Sesto sites.  

This is the first of 26 trains ordered by Trenitalia and
Cisalpino in 2004, and which will be running by the end of 2006
in Italy and the beginning of 2007 in Switzerland.

To date, over 400 Pendolino trains are in circulation around the
world, covering more than 200 million kilometers in China, Czech
Republic, Finland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain,
Switzerland, and the U.K.

The New Pendolino is the fourth generation of tilting technology
"made in Italy" since its development in the 1970s.

Alstom's unique technology, which is particularly suited for
windy tracks, enables high-speed trains to run on existing
railway lines, reducing journey time by 15% to 30%.

BAUER AG: Selling 2.35 Million Shares in Upcoming IPO
-----------------------------------------------------
Bauer AG plans to sell 8.8 million shares in an initial public
offering to fund domestic and foreign expansions, Bloomberg News
reports.

The subscription, which will run from June 26 to July 24, will
include:

  (a) 2.35 million new shares by Bauer AG; and

  (b) 6.08 million shares by Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, which

The Company posted a EUR300,000 net loss before minorities in
the first quarter 2006, compared to a EUR4.6 million loss for
the same period in 2005.

Headquartered in Schrobenhausen, Germany, Bauer AG --
http://www.bauer.de/en-- is the holding company for Bauer Group  
and its affiliates.  Bauer is engaged in the execution of
construction contracts and the sale of construction equipment.  
Associated activities carried out by the operating companies
include environmental technology, structural repair and
restoration of buildings, bridge construction and project
management.  Bauer AG, managed by a Management Board comprising
four members and is chaired by Professor Dipl.-Kfm. Thomas

                        *     *     *

As reported in TCR-Europe on May 17, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services placed its 'BB-' long-term corporate credit rating on
Germany-based engineering company Bauer AG on CreditWatch with
positive implications, based on an anticipated improvement of
capital structure following the company's announcement of its
planned IPO, coupled with improved business performance in 2005.


BAYERISCHE LANDESBANK: Moody's Changes Outlook to Positive
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the outlook to positive from
stable on the D+ Financial Strength Rating of Bayerische
Landesbank.  

In line with Moody's current rating methodology for the
Landesbanken's unguaranteed liabilities, the outlook was also
changed to positive from stable on the Aa2 long-term debt
rating.  The Prime-1 short-term rating remains unaffected.

Bayerische Landesbank's backed obligations, which qualify for
the grandfathering of the former explicit statutory guarantees
are not affected and retain their Aaa long-term ratings and
stable outlook.

Moody's said that the rating action was prompted by the ongoing
improvements in asset quality and risk management at Bayerische
Landesbank, reflected in its reduced portfolio concentrations
and a lower cost of risk.  Jointly, these factors and the
improving profitability levels exert upward pressure on the
bank's FSR.  Moody's noted that the overall improvement in
portfolio credit quality should enable the bank to better
sustain the lower level of gross new provisioning reached in
recent periods.  According to the rating agency, the positive
outlook takes account of the progress achieved at the bank, but
also recognizes the challenges Bayerische Landesbank still
faces, including the need to further improve risk-weighted
profitability markedly while also strengthening further the
improved risk culture and management at the bank.

The outlook on the long-term debt rating was changed to positive
to reflect the upward pressure on the debt rating that would
result from an improved FSR under Moody's current rating
methodology.

Rating outlooks changed:

   -- D+ Financial Strength Rating outlook changed to positive
   -- Aa2 long-term debt rating outlook changed to positive

Ratings were affirmed:

   -- P-1 short-term rating
   -- Aaa backed long-term debt rating with its stable outlook

Headquartered in Munich, Germany, Bayerische Landesbank reported
EUR340 billion of total assets as of year-end 2005.  Total
profits for the year were EUR613 million.

ALITALIA SPA: Posts Improved May 2006 Traffic Results
-----------------------------------------------------
In May 2006, Alitalia S.p.A. posted a strong performance
confirming the positive trend already shown in April traffic
results.

Alitalia carried 2.21 million passengers, up 5.2% compared to
the previous year.

Traffic, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometers, increased
2.3% despite the fact that the capacity, measured in Available
Seat Kilometers, decreased by 1.9%.  The load factor grew 3.0
percentage points reaching 73.6%.

May 2006 traffic levels showed a solid improvement over 2005
confirming that the higher volumes seen in April were not only
driven by the late Easter holidays.

Detailed comparisons with May 2005:

   -- Domestic Passenger Network: traffic was up 1.2% compared
      to 2005 while load factor slightly decreased by 0.7
      percentage points to 65.2%;

   -- International Passenger Network: traffic was up 10.8% on a
      capacity increase of 6.7%, improving load factor by 2.6
      percentage points to 69.4%.  This reflected the success of
      Alitalia's Eastern Europe growth strategy (capacity to
      this market grew by 44.3% with an impressive increase in
      traffic of 45.6%);

   -- Intercontinental Passenger Network: long haul load factor
      was up to 80.5% (with a significant increase of 5.6 points
      against last year).  The increase in traffic to South
      America and the Far East partially balanced the drop in
      traffic to North America.  This was driven by the
      reduction of seasonal services from Rome to Boston and
      Toronto, that this year will start from July rather than
      April in order to serve only the peak months of the summer
      season.

Cargo Operations

In May, Cargo, measured in Revenue Ton Kilometers, increased by
4.4%.  Overall load factor increased by 1.9 percentage points up
to 62.5%.

                       About Alitalia

ALITALIA SPA: Inks Sardinian Code-Sharing Deal with Meridiana
-------------------------------------------------------------
Alitalia S.p.A. will resume flights to Sardinia after striking a
code-sharing deal with Meridiana, The Associated Press says.

The code-sharing agreement allows Alitalia to operate on the
Rome-Cagliari route for three years, in time for the vacation
season at the Mediterranean tourist spot.

As reported in TCR-Europe on May 26, the State Council, Italy's
highest appellate court for administrative affairs, has barred
Alitalia from operating flights to Sardinia.

The Regional Administrative Court in Lazio had lifted the ban on
the flights imposed by civilian aviation authority Ente
Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile.  ENAC had barred Alitalia from
using the Rome-to-Cagliari and Milan-to-Cagliari routes after
the carrier failed to beat the deadline for renewal application.  
Alitalia filed for renewal on April 27, three days after the
April 24 deadline has passed.  ENAC then awarded the Cagliari
routes to carriers Air One and Meridiana.

BANCA POPOLARE: Sopaf Buys Bipielle.Net & Area Life for EUR131MM
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sopaf, Aviva Plc's Italian unit, and De Agostini S.p.A. signed a
EUR107 million deal to purchase an 80% stake in Bipielle.Net
from Banca Popolare Italiana Scrl, Bloomberg News reports.  In
addition, the group also agreed to purchase all of Area Life for
EUR23.5 million.

According to Bloomberg, Banca Popolare is aiming to raise
capital following a EUR743.9 million loss in 2005 through a
EUR719 million equity sale slated for June and a EUR1.5 billion
asset sale.

Bipielle Investimenti S.p.A., the bank's 86 percent-owned
subsidiary, will have the option to sell its 20 percent stake in
Bipielle.Net to the group for EUR30 million in four years,
Bloomberg relates.

Headquartered in Lodi, Italy, Banca Popolare Italiana --
http://www.bancapopolareitaliana.it/-- attracts deposits and  
offers commercial banking services.  The Bank offers securities
brokerage, asset management, mortgage loans, insurance, lease
financing and treasury services and manages mutual funds.  
Through a subsidiary, Banca Popolare Italiana offers merchant
banking services and medium- and long-term lending.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the TCR-Europe on April 3, Fitch Ratings
downgraded Banca Popolare Italiana's Issuer Default and Short-
term ratings to BBB from BBB+ and F3 from F2 respectively.  Its
Individual and Support rating are affirmed at C and 3
respectively.  Its senior debt and trust preferred stock are
also downgraded to BBB and BB+ respectively from BBB+ and BBB-.  
The Issuer Default, Short-term and Individual ratings are
removed from Rating Watch Negative.  A Stable Outlook is
assigned for the Issuer Default rating.


IMPREGILO SPA: Sells Contarina Stake to Priulia Consortium
----------------------------------------------------------
Impregilo International Infrastrucures N.V., a subsidiary of
Impregilo S.p.A., sold the 49% equity investment in Contarina
S.p.A., a company in the Italian province of Treviso active in
municipal solid waste collection and disposal through composting
and waste-to-energy conversion.

The stake in Contarina S.p.A. has been sold to the Priulia
inter-municipal consortium, which already owns the other 51% of
the company.  The sale raised proceeds totaling EUR2.6 million
for the Impregilo Group, against a carrying value of
approximately EUR2.2 million.

The disposal is part of the program for the gradual re-
organization of the Group's equity investment portfolio.

With a view to maintaining the constructive ties of co-operation
in the area that have been built up over the years with the
consortium, the sale agreement provides for the Impregilo Group,
compatibly with current legislation, to join Priulia and
Contarina as a partner in presenting bids in response to
requests for tenders for the construction of new waste-to-energy
plants that may be put out in the area.

Headquartered in Milan, Italy Impregilo S.p.A. --
http://www.impregilo.it/-- is involved in the construction of  
dams and hydroelectric schemes since 1906.  In 2005, Impregilo
posted consolidated net sales of EUR2.4 billion, compared to
EUR2.9 billion in 2004.  It attributed the decrease to a general
downturn in sales volumes, the de-consolidation of some
operations and the absence of extraordinary items recognized in
2004.  

In 2005, the Group posted a consolidated operating loss of
EUR254.4 million.  A significant factor in the result was the
aggregate operating loss (EUR260 million) of the non-core
businesses (Building & Services, Campania MSW Project, Imprepar
in liquidation), which are being sold/retired or are in
liquidation.

Net debt at Dec. 31, 2005, was EUR739.18 million, including
discontinued operations.  Shareholders' equity at Dec. 31, 2005,
amounted to EUR516.7 million, an increase of EUR305 million from
Dec. 31, 2004.  Impregilo is optimistic it could achieve its
profit forecast and debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5 in 2007.  Lazard
Freres & Co. LLC is advising Impregilo.


INTER AUTO: Moody's Withdraws Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew the Ba3 Corporate Family
Rating assigned to Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. following the
redemption of the 2007 bonds issued by Rhiag S.A., which was
completed on June 8.


MAGISTE SPA: Applies for Creditor Protection in Roman Court
-----------------------------------------------------------
Magiste S.p.A. has filed for protection from its creditors at
the Bankruptcy Court of Rome on June 15, La Stampa reports.

The Prosecutor's Office in Rome had threatened to launch
insolvency proceedings against the real property developer if
Magiste failed to apply for an arrangement with its creditors,
Il Sole 24 Ore relates.  

As reported in TCR-Europe on May 25, the prosecutors are
pursuing over EUR95 million in unpaid taxes from Magiste.  The
magistrates are eyeing to begin bankruptcy proceedings against
the Company believing that the company has around EUR200 million
in financial deficit.  The prosecutors are also eyeing to indict
Magiste owner Stefano Ricucci on fraudulent bankruptcy charges.

Meanwhile, La Stampa reports that local authorities had found
pertinent documents that would hasten the probe into Magiste's
role in the fraudulent takeover bid for RCS MediaGroup S.p.A.  
The documents have been missing, threatening to delay the
investigation.

However, it remains unclear whether the documents are among
those that have been seized and examined or whether the papers
could comprise new evidence, La Stampa relates.

Headquartered in Rome, Italy, Magiste S.p.A. --
http://www.magiste.re.it/-- is real estate group owning 15%  
stake in RCS MediaGroup S.p.A.  The group pledged the stake as
collateral for a EUR700 million loan from Banca Popolare
Italiana S.p.A.  Magiste's inability to repay the loan forced it
to present a debt arrangement proposal to Popolare Italiana.  
Published reports said that if Popolare Italiana's rejects the
proposal, Magiste might succumb to bankruptcy.  BPI had decided
to enforce the pledges through the sale of the RCS shares.

Prosecutors in Rome are also chasing Magiste over EUR95 million
in unpaid taxes.  The magistrates are eyeing to begin bankruptcy
proceedings against the Company as they believe Magiste has
around EUR200 million in financial deficit, Il Sole reports.

AKER KVAERNER: Inks NOK700-Million Contract with Samsung
--------------------------------------------------------
Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. in Korea has awarded Aker
Kvaerner a contract for delivery of a new drilling rig equipment
package to Eastern Drilling's West E-Drill project.

The contract value is approximately NOK700 million.  The project
will start immediately at Aker Kvaerner's subsidiary Aker
Kvaerner MH, with delivery of the drilling equipment package in
the second half of 2007.

"We are pleased that Samsung Heavy Industries has awarded us
this contract, which confirms our leading market position in the
deep water segment.  Furthermore, we continue the growth in the
drilling equipment segment, and it supports our unique RamRig
technology," says Roald Amundsen, President of Aker Kvaerner
MH."

The new contract was an option in a contract Aker Kvaerner MH
signed with Samsung in June 2005, and the scope is similar for
both contracts.  The drilling system will be a highly efficient
system designed for parallel operations and operation at remote
locations.

                          About Samsung

Headquarterd in Seoul, South Korea, Samsung Heavy Industries
(SHI) -- http://www.shi.samsung.co.kr/eng/-- is a core  
affiliate of Korea's largest group company Samsung.  The Company

booked revenues and EBITDA of NOK28.2 billion and NOK1.7 billion
respectively.

                        *     *     *

As reported in TCR-Europe on April 26, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded the ratings of Aker Kvaerner Oil & Gas Group and its
subsidiary Aker Kvaerner AS, primarily to reflect the
sustainable strong recovery in profitability and cash flow
generation of the ring-fenced oil and gas group over the past
two years, coupled with the clear reduction in senior debt,
repaid from internally generated funds.

Ratings affected:

Aker Kvaerner Oil & Gas Group AS

   -- Corporate family rating: upgraded to Ba1 from Ba3

Aker Kvaerner AS

   -- Rating of the second priority lien notes due 2011:
      upgraded to Ba1 from Ba3.

Moody's said the outlook on all ratings is stable.

AKER KVAERNER: Wins NOK200-Million Tyrihans Sub-Sea Contract
------------------------------------------------------------
Statoil ASA has signed a letter of intent with Aker Kvaerner to
deliver a sub-sea seawater injection system for the Tyrihans
project in the Norwegian Sea.

The new generation pumps are expected to increase oil production
from the Tyrihans field by 10%.  The sub-sea pumps will be the
world's largest and installed at longest step-out.  Aker
Kvaerner's contract value will be approximately NOK200 million.   

Aker Kvaerner Sub-sea will supply two sub-sea injection pumps to
be installed more than 40 kilometers from the Kristin platform
where the oil and gas will be processed. The pumps will feature
Aker Kvaerner's own LiquidBooster technology and will inject raw
seawater for pressure support and stabilization of the oil zone.

"Aker Kvaerner has developed a robust technology for the sub-sea
raw seawater injection pump system for Tyrihans.  The high
capacity of Aker Kvaerner's boosting system combined with its
robustness and simplicity in design has been a decisive factor
for Statoil in this contract award," says Tyrihans technical
responsible for pump system Torstein Austvik.

Aker Kvaerner will manufacture the pump system at its facility
in Tranby in Norway for delivery in the third quarter of 2008.
Production on Tyrihans, one of the largest planned projects on
the Norwegian continental shelf, is due to begin mid-2009.

"This is a breakthrough for another of our boosting technologies
already well proven onshore.  It is the latest in a string of
recent projects that will benefit from this technology," says
Raymond Carlsen, executive vice president Aker Kvaerner Sub-sea.

Statoil has a 46.8 percent interest in the Tyrihans field, while
its partners are Total with 26.51 percent, Hydro with 12
percent, Eni with 7.9 per cent and ExxonMobil with 6.75 per
cent.

* Moody's Places Ratings on Three Romanian Banks Under Review
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed on review for possible upgrade
the Ba2/Not-Prime foreign currency deposit ratings for three
Romanian banks.  

The affected banks are Banca Comerciala Romana S.A., BRD -
Groupe Societe Generale S.A. and Raiffeisen Bank S.A.  This
rating action follows Moody's recent announcement, placing
Romania's foreign currency bank deposit ceilings of Ba2/Not-
Prime on review for possible upgrade.  The banks' existing
ratings for financial strength remain unaffected by this action.

The foreign currency deposit ratings of the above mentioned
three Romanian banks benefit from strong systemic and parent
support, which we believe are committed investors in Romania and
would support their subsidiaries in case of need. The foreign
currency deposit ratings of the three banks are currently
constrained by the country ceiling, so if the country ceilings
for Romania were to rise, we would expect their deposit ratings
to rise with them.

All three banks are headquartered in Bucharest and reported end-
2005 total assets as follows: Banca Comerciala Romana S.A.
RON34.2 billion (EUR9.3 billion), BRD -- Groupe Societe Generale
S.A. RON19.6 billion (EUR5.3 billion), and Raiffeisen Bank S.A.
RON11.1 billion (EUR3.0 billion).

OAO GAZPROM: Russia Mulls Taxing US$15-Billion Extra Revenues
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Russian government is considering to exact taxes on OAO
Gazprom's US$15 billion extra revenues on exported natural gas,
Bloomberg News reports.

Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said the government might impose
additional tax on "such unplanned revenue," Bloomberg News
relates.

"An excess profit tax on Gazprom is long overdue, because it
would put the company on a level playing field with oil
producers," Steven Dashevsky, head of research at Aton
Brokerage, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying.

                       About the Company

Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, OAO Gazprom --
http://www.gazprom.ru/eng-- produces 94% of the country's  
natural gas, controls 25% of the world's reserves, and is also
the world's largest gas producer.  It focuses on gas
exploration, processing, transport, and marketing.

                         *     *     *

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Jan. 18, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating on
OAO Gazprom to 'BB+' from 'BB'.  

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Oct 27, 2005, Fitch Ratings
upgraded Gazprom International S.A. Series 1 US$1.25-billion
structured export notes due Feb. 1, 2020 (XS0197695009) to 'BBB'
from 'BBB-'.  

The upgrade follows Fitch's upgrade of OAO Gazprom's, the
world's largest gas company, Senior Unsecured local and foreign
currency ratings to 'BB+' from 'BB', and a change in Gazprom's
going concern assessment, which is now equivalent to a 'BBB'
rating compared to 'BBB-' previously.


OAO GAZPROM: Eyes US$11-Billion Investment to Double Reserves
-------------------------------------------------------------
OAO Gazprom will spend US$11 billion annually to double its
reserves in the next 25 years, Bloomberg News says.

Gazprom Chief Executive Alexei Miller revealed that the group is
investing into future outputs and aims to match the gas demand
of European and Asian consumers.

"We work according to the market and produce as much gas as it
demands," Mr. Miller told Bloomberg.  "The volume of output is
restricted more by the market's size and by demand from clients
able to pay than our ability to produce."

LANDMARK MORTGAGE: Fitch Rates GBP6-Million Class D Notes at BB
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned expected ratings to Landmark Mortgage
Securities No. 1 PLC's GBP200 million mortgage-backed floating-
rate notes.

   -- GBP-equivalent 168.6 million Class A notes due 2038: AAA;

   -- Class A detachable coupons due 2011: AAA;

   -- GBP-equivalent 17.80 million Class B notes due 2038: A;

   -- GBP-equivalent 7.6 million Class C notes due 2038: BBB;
      and

   -- GBP-equivalent 6 million Class D notes due 2038: BB.

The final ratings are contingent upon receipt of final documents
conforming to information already received.

The collateral underlying the notes in this transaction consists
solely of originations from Amber Home Loans, Unity Mortgages
and Infinity Home Loans.

The expected ratings are based on the quality of the collateral,
available credit enhancement, the underwriting criteria of
Amber, Unity and Infinity, the primary servicing capabilities of
Homeloan Management Limited and the special servicing
capabilities of Investec and the sound legal structure of the
transaction.

Credit enhancement for the Class A notes totals 16.90% and will
be provided by the subordination of the Class B, Class C, Class
D and an initial reserve fund of 1.20% of the initial issue
size.  The reserve fund is expected to increase to a target
amount of 1.40%

To determine appropriate credit enhancement levels, Fitch
analyzed the collateral using its UK Residential Mortgage
Default Model III.  The agency also modeled cash flows using the
results of the default model with structural stresses including
various prepayment and interest rate scenarios.

The cash flow tests showed that each Class of notes could
withstand loan losses at a level corresponding to the related
stress scenario without incurring any principal loss or interest
shortfall and can retire principal by legal final maturity.

RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE: Moody's Rates Class B2a Notes at (P)Ba3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned provisional credit ratings to
the following classes of Notes issued by Residential Mortgage
Securities 22 PLC:

   -- Class A1 Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2031:
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A1 Detachable Coupons due 2009: (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A1 Detachable Coupons due 2011: (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A2 Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A2 Detachable Coupons due 2009: (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A2 Detachable Coupons due 2011: (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A3 Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A3 Detachable Coupons due 2009: (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A3 Detachable Coupons due 2011: (P)Aaa;

   -- Class M1a Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Aa3;

   -- Class M1c Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Aa3;

   -- Class M2a Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)A3;

   -- Class M2c Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)A3;

   -- Class B1a Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Baa3;

   -- Class B1c Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Baa3;

   -- Class B2a Notes with Class A Ordinary Coupons due 2039:
      (P)Ba3; and

   -- Mortgage Early Redemption Certificates, due 2039: (P)Aaa.

The Class A1 and Class A3 Notes will be issued in British Pound
Sterling, U.S. Dollars and Euros.  The Class A2 Notes will be
issued in Euros.  The Class M1, M2 and B1 Notes will be issued
in British Pound Sterling and Euros.  The Class B2a will be
issued in British Pound Sterling.

This transaction represents the 22nd securitization of non-
conforming and impaired credit loans originated by entities that
trade under the name of Kensington Mortgage Company.  

The ratings of the Notes are based upon:

   -- an analysis of the characteristics of the mortgage pool
      backing the Notes;

   -- the protection the Notes receive from credit enhancement
      against defaults and arrears in the mortgage pool; and

   -- the legal and structural integrity of the issue.

The credit enhancement available in the deal is provided in the
form of excess spread, reserve fund of original note balance,
subordination of the Class M1, M2, B1 and B2 Notes. Subject to
certain conditions being met, the reserve fund may amortize to a
floor of 0.68% of the original note balance.

The ratings address the expected loss posed to investors by the
legal final maturity.  Moody's believes the structure allows for
timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal at
par on or before the rated final legal maturity date.  Moody's
ratings address only the credit risks associated with the
transaction.  Other non-credit risks have not been addressed,
but may have a significant effect on yield to investors.

The Class A Detachable Coupons (I/O) do not receive any payments
of principal, and earn interest at a rate of 1.35% per annum
calculated on the outstanding balance of the Class A Notes.

The Class A1 I/O 2009, Class A2 I/O 2009, and Class A3 I/O 2009
earn interest from the first interest payment date until the
interest payment date on Nov. 2009.  The Class A1 I/O 2011,
Class A2 I/O 2011 and Class A3 I/O 2011 earn interest from the
interest payment date on Nov. 2009 to the interest payment date
falling on Nov. 2011.  The rating of the I/O addresses the
Issuer's ability to make the promised payment of interest.  
However, it does not address the size of balance used to
calculate the amount due.

The Mortgage Early Redemption Certificates (MERC) are backed
solely by mortgage early redemption charges that may become
payable by borrowers in the pool on early redemption of their
loans within a certain period.  The Aaa rating on the MERC's
addresses the likelihood of receipt by MERC holders of such
amounts if the Issuer receives them.  It assumes, without any
independent investigation that payment of the mortgage early
redemption charges under the mortgage loans is legally valid,
binding and enforceable, and that such amounts are actually
collected from borrowers and received by the Issuer.  The amount
receivable by MERC holders also depends on prepayment rates
within the pool.  The rating does not address such prepayment
rates.

Moody's issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale
of securities and these ratings reflect Moody's preliminary
credit opinions regarding the transaction only. Upon a
conclusive review of the final version of all the documents and
legal opinions, Moody's will endeavor to assign a definitive
rating to the Notes.  A definitive rating may differ from a
provisional rating.


RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE: Fitch Rates GBP16-Mln Class B2 Notes at BB
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned expected ratings to Residential Mortgage
Securities 22 PLC's GBP800 million multi-currency mortgage-
backed floating-rate notes.

   -- GBP-equivalent 320 million Class A1 notes due 2031: AAA;

   -- A1 detachable coupons due 2009 and 2011: AAA;

   -- GBP-equivalent 80 million Class A2 notes due 2039: AAA;

   -- A2 detachable coupons due 2009 and 2011: AAA;

   -- GBP-equivalent 280 million Class A3 notes due 2039: AAA;

   -- A3 detachable coupons due 2009 and 2011: AAA;

   -- GBP-equivalent 53.6 million Class M1 notes due 2039: AA;

   -- GBP-equivalent 26.4 million Class M2 notes due 2039: A;

   -- GBP-equivalent 24 million Class B1 notes due 2039: BBB;
      and

   -- GBP-equivalent 16 million Class B2 notes due 2039: BB.

The final ratings are contingent upon receipt of final documents
conforming to information already received.

This transaction is a securitization of non-conforming
residential mortgages originated and located in the U.K. and is
the 22nd in the series.  Structurally, this is the third
transaction to trap excess cap cash flows within the deal for
use in future periods.

The expected ratings are based on the quality of the collateral,
available credit enhancement, the underwriting criteria of
Kensington Group PLC and its subsidiaries, the primary servicing
capabilities of Homeloan Management Ltd. and the special
servicing capabilities Kensington Mortgages Ltd, and the sound
legal structure of the transaction.

Credit enhancement for the Class A1, A2 and A3 notes totals
15.9% and will be provided by the subordination of the Class M1,
Class M2 Class B1, Class B2 and an initial reserve fund
representing 0.9% of the initial issue size.  The reserve fund
is expected to increase to a target amount equating to 1.35% of
the initial issue size, funded from available excess spread.

To determine appropriate credit enhancement levels, Fitch
analyzed the collateral using its default model, details of
which can be found in the report "UK Residential Default Model
III" dated July 26, 2005, available at
http://www.fitchratings.com/ The agency modeled the transaction  
cash flows using default and loss severity assumptions indicated
by the default model under various recession timings, prepayment
speeds, interest rates, and originator default/downgrade
scenarios.  

The cash flow tests showed that each Class of notes could
withstand loan losses at a level corresponding to the related
stress scenario without incurring any principal loss or interest
shortfall and can retire principal by legal final maturity.

action has increased as the three largest loans, comprising 61%
of the pool, prepaid by the April interest payment date.  The
Mid City Place loan, the Canary Wharf loan, and the 15 West
Ferry Circus loan all prepaid.
   
The prepayments have improved the levels of credit enhancement
available to the class B, C, and D notes and the LTV ratios for
all classes.
  
Standard & Poor's will now conduct a more detailed analysis to
investigate whether any or all of these notes can attain a
higher rating.  The results of this review and any rating
changes are expected within a month of this media release.
  
The transaction, which closed on Oct. 25, 2005, was backed
originally by 10 loans secured on 28 commercial properties in
the U.K.  The U.K. branch of Lehman Brothers Commercial Paper
Inc., and the London branch of Lehman Brothers Bankhaus AG
originated it.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR-Europe contains a list of
companies with insolvent balance sheets based on the latest
publicly available balance sheet available to our editors at the
time of publication.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell
short.  Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at
historical cost net of depreciation may understate the true
value of a firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on
its balance sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  
The prices at which equity securities trade in public market are
determined by more than a balance sheet solvency test.
