Important milestones such as the implementation of the European Price Coupling linking the electricity markets from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Barents Sea are highlighted in the last edition of the ACER Regional Initiatives report on progress made on regional and cross-regional market integration last year. The report also describes obstacles faced in 2014 and challenges ahead. ACER, which is in charge of coordinating this ‘bottom-up’ approach to market integration, has produced the report in line with its Annual Work Programme to assess the progress achieved with the specific project-approach in the electricity and gas fields.

Date 10/02/2015

Thank you, Meredith [Cross], for that introduction and for the invitation to speak today. I can’t think of a better time or audience with whom to share my thoughts on a corporate governance topic that has recently received significant public attention: shareholder proposals. First, though, it is appropriately fitting that I give the standard disclaimer that the views that I express today are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or any other colleague on the staff of the Commission.[1]
