PARIS (Reuters) - French state-owned utility EDF (EPA:EDF) said in written answers to shareholders' questions that it had asked the French state to retract earlier decisions forcing it to sell nuclear power at low prices to its rivals.

It added that it has the right to seek legal redress over this matter.
