MADRID (AFX) - Fitch Ratings said it has removed Gas Natural SDG SA's 'A+' Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and 'F1' short term rating from Rating Watch Negative (RWN) after the utility withdrew its bid for Endesa SA.In a statement the agency said the RWNs were initially put in place in September 2005 after Gas Natural first launched its takeover bid for Endesa.Fitch added it has assigned a 'Negative Outlook' to Gas Natural's IDR on continued uncertainty regarding the group's ambitions to develop a balanced gas and electricity business.Gas Natural withdrew its bid for Endesa yesterday leaving Germany's E.ON AG as the only remaining suitor, citing unfair conditions in the bidding process.afxmadrid@afxnews.comcve/jfrCOPYRIGHTCopyright AFX News Limited 2006.
