  • ITRE voted that ownership unbundling of vertically integrated companies (carrying out both generation/sales and transmission) be obligatory
  • Member States adopt a definition of "energy poverty"
  • An obligation should be placed on distribution companies by national regulatory authorities to introduce smart meters ("bi-directional electronic meters") "which shall be rolled out to all consumers within 10 years after entry into force of the Directive".
  • at least at the regional level of all technical and market codes for the relevant transmission system operators and other market players

    The smart metering obligation within 10 years is a surprise. Is this in the interest of the consumer. Moreover, since there is no definition of 'smart meters', is there no risk that the simplest technology will be used, and that smart metering will become a missed opportunity?
