Για την εναρμόνιση και την ελευθέρωση της εσωτερικής αγοράς ενέργειας της ΕΕ, εγκρίθηκαν τρεις διαδοχικές νομοθετικές δέσμες μέτρων μεταξύ 1996 και 2009 σχετικά με την πρόσβαση στην αγορά, τη διαφάνεια και την κανονιστική ρύθμιση, την προστασία των καταναλωτών, την υποστήριξη των διασυνδέσεων και τα επαρκή επίπεδα εφοδιασμού. Ως αποτέλεσμα των μέτρων αυτών, νέοι προμηθευτές φυσικού αερίου και ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας μπορούν να εισέρχονται στις αγορές των κρατών μελών, ενώ οι καταναλωτές, τόσο σε επίπεδο ...

This study identifies selected important competition-related issues in the internal energy market. It discusses the role of competition law with respect to the following issues: State aid, congestion management, capacity remuneration mechanisms, balancing markets, effective competition between suppliers, integration of new players in the market, and energy poverty. To tackle these present and possible upcoming issues, the study provides indications regarding the current and future need for applying ...

The liberalisation of air transport, which resulted in the creation of new routes and new business models for airlines, in particular the development of low-cost carriers, has led to lower fares and wider access to air transport. In many countries, air transport is a catalyst for tourism development. As low-cost carriers in the EU have experienced substantial growth, serving mostly short-haul destinations, they are increasingly looking into investing into the long-haul market for their future development ...

Η πολιτική μεταφορών ανήκει στους τομείς κοινής πολιτικής εδώ και περισσότερο από 30 έτη, πράγμα που ξεκίνησε με την απόφαση του Δικαστηρίου της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης (ΔΕΕ) της 22ας Μαΐου 1985 σχετικά με την προσφυγή του Ευρωπαϊκού Κοινοβουλίου επί παραλείψει κατά του Συμβουλίου. Παράλληλα με το άνοιγμα των αγορών στον τομέα των μεταφορών στον ανταγωνισμό και τη διαμόρφωση διευρωπαϊκών δικτύων, το ζήτημα της «βιώσιμης κινητικότητας» θα αποκτήσει μεγαλύτερη σημασία έως το 2020, ιδίως στο πλαίσιο της διαρκούς ...

Consumers are considered a key element of EU energy legislation and the efforts to achieve a transition to a carbon-free society. Back in 2009, the third energy package, which sought to establish a liberalised internal energy market, granted energy consumers a number of rights, such as the right to an electricity connection, to switch energy providers and to receive clear offers, contracts and energy bills. However, some of these rights have not yet been put into practice: consumers often do not ...

The study will describe the challenges for competition policy in relation to the internal energy market. It explores the specific topics related to the internal energy market and analyses the competition policy issues arising from the topics. The study will mainly focus on competition policy and its instruments such as anti-trust laws, merger regulation, sector regulation and State aid. Other policy fields fall outside the scope. This presentation of the approach and preliminary results was prepared ...

The IA appears to present a good and comprehensive analysis to identify the problems in the status quo, define the objectives of EU action, delineate policy options that can fulfil those objectives, assess the impacts of those options, and choose the best options to address the identified problems. This process seems to be based on sound data and research. In the explanation of the objectives, however, the distinction between what the IA refers to as the sub-objectives and the operational objectives ...

Μετά από την έγκριση διαφόρων ευρωπαϊκών νομοθετικών πράξεων, τόσο οι διεθνείς οδικές μεταφορές όσο και οι εμπορευματικές και επιβατικές ενδομεταφορές έχουν ελευθερωθεί σταδιακά.

The new proposals build on previous legislation and continue to gradually implement an internal energy market. In particular, they look to incorporate recent changes, such as the rapid increase in renewables and technological advances relating to the digitalisation of services. They also attempt to clarify previous legislation such as in the case of storage for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) for example. As with the recent proposals on security of gas supply, the Commission looks to incorporate ...

To improve commercial efficiency and increase the financial transparency of the major EU seaports, the European Commission proposed a new regulation in 2013. Following agreement with the Council in trilogue the new regulation is now to be voted in plenary in December. In contrast to previous, rejected proposals on ports, this one will not affect Member States' social and employment rules.
