In the field of external energy policy it is crucial to remember that a business that controls its market from generation to the final sale, as is the case for electricity, is not the same as another business whose product is dependent on factors that are largely out of its control, as is the case for gas.
Energiaalase välispoliitika valdkonnas on olulise tähtsusega meeles pidada, et ettevõtlus, mis kontrollib oma turgu selle loomisest kuni lõppmüügini, nagu on elektri puhul, pole samasugune nagu teine ettevõtlus, kelle toode sõltub teguritest, mis on suurelt osalt tema kontrolli alt väljas, nagu see on gaasi puhul.
