EU internal energy market integration progress and challenges post-Letta report (institutdelors.eu)

• Letta report identifies persistent fragmentation of EU energy market.
• Commission only partially implements recommendations; simplification risks deregulation.
• Lack of political trust among member states hinders market integration.
• Recommendation: inventory of regulatory requirements and targeted price strategy.

"This analysis from Institut Jacques Delors examines EU energy market integration one year after the Letta report. Despite economic urgency, the European Commission only partially implements the report's recommendations, particularly on regulatory simplification. Market fragmentation and lack of trust among member states hinder progress. The Commission must use legal tools to enforce market rules and avoid fragmentation."
