The Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament: Report on progress in creating the internal gas and electricity market [5], hereafter referred to as the ‘2005 Report’ states that ‘many national markets display a high degree of concentration of the industry, impeding the development of effective competition’ [6].
Komisjoni teatises nõukogule ja Euroopa Parlamendile „Aruanne gaasi ja elektrienergia siseturu loomise edenemise kohta” [5] (edaspidi „2005. aasta aruanne”) tõdes komisjon, et paljudel siseriiklikel turgudel on tööstus suuresti kontsentreerunud ja see takistab tõhusa konkurentsi arengut.
