The European Commission (EC) has issued France with a warning for having only partially transposed EU energy and gas directives, while the deadline to conform with European regulation was March 2011.
EDF and GDF Suez still dominate the market, Les Echos wrote. This is particularly true for electricity, where alternative suppliers have a 7% share of the market for businesses and a 5% share of the market for individuals.
The EC wants producers and network managers to be independent in order for the market to be more competitive, and wants consumers to be gradually equipped with individual meters. France was also warned over the fact it still does not have the equipment to circulate gas in both directions on an international level. Warnings over failure to transpose the electricity directives were sent to 17 countries and 18 countries received warnings for the gas directives. Failure to respond rapidly to the warning could eventually lead to the matter being brought to the European Court of Justice.
