→The three phases of market deregulation
The energy market has been a policy topic since the 90s, which was expressed in particular by the three energy market packages (in 1996-1998, 2003 and 2009).
===The First and Second Energy Packages===The first two phases towards the so-called free market, are following the adoption of Directive 96/9 2 of 19 December 1996 which established the principle of opening up sites of over 100 GW/year in national energy markets. Due to the limited success of this first Directive, it was repealed in 2003 and replaced by [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32003L0054 Directive 2003/54/EC] that aimed at speeding up liberalization. This is commonly referred to as "the '''second energy-climate package"'''.
* In France, these two Directives have been included in National law through law 2000-108 of 10 February 2000 and 2004-803 of 9 August 2004, amended by Law No. 2003-8 of 3 January 2003 and Law No 2006-1537 of 7 December 2006.
