The gas directive issued by the European Commission in 1998 has received differing
levels of acceptance within the EU - some countries have embraced market liberalisation
while others have chosen to ignore it. Outside the EU, countries in central
and Eastern Europe have also begun reforming their domestic gas markets to fall
in-line with the directive. The new strategic management report, The Outlook
For Gas In Europe: The markets start to open, looks at this changing market,
assessing the directive itself and it's future implications for gas companies.
Using country-by-country analysis, the report examines the level of acceptance
of the directive in each country and evaluates the strategies used by the key
players in each domestic market. This report delivers critical insights into
the future direction of the European gas market.
