Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs welcomed the EEX and Powernext joint venture as a step forward in creating a well-functioning market. In a press conference on 30 May, 2008, held in Brussels to present the new cooperation between German and French spot markets for electricity, Commissioner Piebalgs said 'I am pleased to stand here today and bear witness to an important agreement, which, I hope, also means great progress for the European electricity market. Efficient power exchanges are indeed an issue that the European Commission's Energy Policy for Europe recognised as a key requirement for a well functioning electricity market.'
