Note on the EU competences
Article from: OGEL 1 (2004), in Electricity Law and Regulation
Introduction
p>The goal of this note is to clarify the proposal made by the Convention on the future of Europe introducing a main distinction of EU competences, mainly between "exclusive" and "shared" competences. The draft text includes energy among shared competences in Article I-13. This means that both the EU and its Member States would have the power to legislate and adopt legally binding acts. However the Member States would be able to exercise their competence to the extent that the Union has not done it.
