Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

I do not believe we have talked to the Minister about legislation in that space. As I said, in general the EU regulation under which we tend to operate has been about moving away from price regulation. I should be clear that the commission does have a role in setting the network charges that are charged to suppliers but we do not have a role in how exactly those charges are passed on to customers, any more than the unit rate charge either. That is set by competitive markets and we do not have a role in regulating those charges. We have not sought to gain new powers in that area.
