| Simultaneous
translation foreseen (English-French) The
2003 energy "liberalisation package" has set the scene for full opening up
of markets and cross-border trade in electricity and gas. However, creating a
common electricity and gas market is a complex process that will take more than
Directives and Regulations to become reality. EURELECTRIC's
Annual Conference 2004 will bring together top executives from the industry,
interlocutors from political, legislative and academic circles, plus financial
and business stakeholders, to focus on the remaining challenges for a truly pan-European
energy market. Asking the question "Where
Do We Go from Here ?", speakers will examine key post-liberalisation issues
and explore the case for more consistent regulatory models, coherent public service
obligations, balanced environment and taxation policies, and vital incentives
for infrastructure investments. The Convention
will start with a high-level “Executive Forum” focusing on “Company
and Industry Structure – the Challenges Ahead”. Open for attendance by all
conference participants, this half-day, strategic workshop will address the developing
structure of our industry, including issues such as unbundling, robustness of
our industry, staying power, mergers, the equilibrium between competition and
economies of scale. Join us in France's
gastronomic capital, Lyon, on 14-15 June!
