The Cabinet's decision shouldn't be that far away though and the last briefings suggest it gets through with little effort.
I've been wondering though... What if a company like EDF needs to liberalise, and it does practically in current form. I then get the impression the EU would create an energy monster (if you will) with an equity inflow large enough to take over rapid take-overs of other electricity suppliers... (Hence I suspect Brussels wouldn't stop just after liberalisation, they would want to fragment a state company as well.) Misguided thought?
