European legislation adopted in 2003 set 1 July 2004 as the date for full opening of the gas and electricity markets for all business consumers. From 1 July 2004 millions of businesses throughout the enlarged EU should have been able to benefit from competition for their energy supply. However, only two out of 25 Member States have fully implemented the necessary legislation and the non-compliant States could face the start of legal action very soon.
