Interne energiemarkt

Infopagina's over de EU 01-11-2017

In het kader van de harmonisatie en liberalisering van de interne energiemarkt van de EU zijn tussen 1996 en 2009 drie elkaar opvolgende pakketten wetgevingsmaatregelen aangenomen, die zijn gericht op toegankelijkheid, transparantie en regulering van de markt, op consumentenbescherming, een betere interconnectie en voldoende leveringscapaciteit. Dankzij deze maatregelen kunnen nieuwe leveranciers van gas en elektriciteit tot de markten in de lidstaten toetreden en kunnen zowel industriële verbruikers ...

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 ...

Low-cost air carriers and tourism

Kort overzicht 20-06-2017

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 ...

Gemeenschappelijk vervoersbeleid: algemeen

Infopagina's over de EU 01-06-2017

Het vervoersbeleid maakt al meer dan 30 jaar deel uit van het gemeenschappelijke beleid. De aanzet daartoe werd gegeven in het arrest van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie (HvJ) van 22 mei 1985 betreffende het beroep wegens nalaten van het Europees Parlement tegen de Raad. Naast de openstelling van de vervoersmarkten voor concurrentie en de totstandbrenging van de trans-Europese netwerken, zal het thema „duurzame mobiliteit” tegen 2020 aan belang inwinnen, in het bijzonder in het kader van ...

Energy consumers in the EU

Briefing 27-04-2017

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 ...

Met de aanneming van een aantal Europese wetgevingsbesluiten zijn zowel het internationale wegvervoer als de cabotage van goederen en personen geleidelijk aan geliberaliseerd.

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 ...
