The European Commission is weary of trying to build a single energy market, which has required it to persuade governments that they must dismantle their existing monopoly operators – a prerequisite to competition. Although member states appear to have resigned themselves to this, they fervently resist other European firms taking control of their “national champion” companies.
欧盟委员会对于建立一个单一的能源市场的企图表现得很谨慎，因为它需要劝说各国政府拆解它们业已存在的垄断经营者，而这是竞争的前提。尽管各个成员国似乎对此表示了认可，但是它们却坚决抵制其他欧洲公司控制它们的国有霸主公司。
