Couldn't find much, the big outcry on the web is still on the unbundling of the networks and the suppliers. It wouldn't surprise me if you'd be familiar with EnergieNed (www.energiened.nl) although their website holds little English documents. There's a scathing pdf from 2 years back on this, here.

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?

I suspect they'd want to do it for purely ideological reasons, and they'd of course be capable of inventing some cock-eyed rationale for it...
