Abstract

[On the 29th October 1999, the partial privatisation of the Berlin Water Company, Berliner Wasserbetriebe (BWB), was finalised when the city of Berlin entered a public-private partnership with RWE Umwelt AG/Vivendi (now Véolia) S.A/Allianz. This partial privatisation, the result of a lengthy and controversial policy-making process, occurred at the end of a turbulent decade for Berlin. On the same day, the President of the Rechnungshof (the German National Audit Office) criticised the city’s government for being around $46 Billion (DM 90 Billion) in debt (Schomaker 1999).]
