Questions referred
|
1. |
Having regard to the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU, (1) does Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity, (2) in particular Article 1(b) and Article 3 thereof, prohibit, from the time of its entry into force, a Member State from continuing to grant one single licence to organise and operate the centralised electricity markets? Is there an obligation on the Romanian State, as of 1 January 2020, to bring to an end an existing monopoly on operation of the electricity market? |
|
2. |
Does the scope ratione personae of the principles of free competition laid down in Regulation (EU) 2019/943, in particular in Article 1(b) and (c) and in Article 3 respectively, include the operator of an electricity market such as a commodities exchange? Is it relevant to this answer that, for the definition of the electricity market, point (40) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 refers to the definition of electricity markets set out in point (9) of Article 2 of Directive (EU) 2019/944? |
|
3. |
Must the grant by a Member State of one single licence to operate the electricity market be regarded as constituting a restriction of competition within the meaning of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU, in conjunction with Article 4(3) TEU and Article 106(1) TFEU? |
