Abstract

The deregulation of the gas industry provided in Germany is fundamentally based on the contestable market concept of competition policy. The obligation to grant third party access is to be strengthened, the legal exception of § 103 GWB for the gas industry should be suspended. A liberalization to erect long-distance gas pipes is planned simultaneously. The present contribution outlines the economic consequences of the intended changes considering the current market structure. Special attention is given to the expropriation's provision included in the Energy Industry Law which is of vital importance for a credible threat of potential competitors to enter the market. Finally, it cannot be precluded that the welfare-costs of reinforcing competition may be shifted to private real estate owners.
