Abstract
⺠The European Commission has put forward a set of financial legislation to stabilize both financial markets and energy prices. ⺠This article assesses the impact of this financial regulation on energy markets. ⺠It shows that the theoretical and empirical effects of key elements in this legislation are ambiguous. ⺠It argues that, if enacted, particular market parties such as energy companies should not be exempted. ⺠It concludes that this set of legislation will not necessarily bring about the effects the Commission desires.
