E On withdraws bid (See article)

Several things come to mind.

1) Now we could end up with a Spanish/Italian monopoly on energy (so thats an increase in our bills)
2) Now it could be a three way split between several organisations an increase in costs even in the short term will have consequences (so thats an increase in our bills)(and also a potential increase in diseconomies of scale)
3) How can Spain be taken seriously has the fifth largest economy in the EU if it only really wants to follow the rules it likes.
4) When Zapatero goes begging for more funds at the next EU budget how responsive will other countries be i.e. why should we give you the money if you don´t follow the rules.
5)Oh and now the PP can do what they usually do and attack PSOE but the difference being this time being able to let the facts get in the way of a biased opinion.


I can´t really understand how PSOE cannot see the benefit to Spain in having a free market in Europe, if all countires felt the same then they wouldn´t have benefited from the expansion of Spanish banks in the relevant states.

They must get their heads out of the sand if Spain is to remain the fifth economic power, they can´t always rely on building and tourism.
