Starting Point for ERI

• Markets are to a large extend national in scope
  very low and insufficient cross border
  competition
• Too low liquidity in many wholesale markets
• No real customer-choice in retail markets
• Market design and practical procedures in
  wholesale and retail markets differ substantially
• Level of transparency does not meet standard of
  mature markets and market participants
  requirements
• Still significant efficiency potentials to be
  realized in the market !!
