More trouble in paradise: EU threatens to sue 10 members
EFL  The European Union's energy policy chief threatened on Wednesday to take 10 members, including Germany, to court if they fail to sufficiently open their gas and electricity markets within two months. Under EU law, all 25 members should have opened their natural gas and electricity markets by last July 1 for business customers. Only five countries had adopted the necessary laws by the deadline. Apart from Germany -- Europe's largest economy and biggest energy market -- Piebalgs targeted his complaints at Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Greece, Spain and Luxembourg.They all love the EU, they just don't follow its rules.
