Callum McCarthy, Chief Executive of the UK energy regulator OFGEM, called on UK ministers on 29 October 2001, to increase pressure on other European Union countries to open electricity and gas markets to more competition. In March 2001 the European Commission proposed a draft directive calling for full opening of energy markets by 2005 but the move was blocked by France.
