Summary/Abstract: The article raises the issue of the state of integration of European energy markets in light of the EU law. Firstly, it discusses the Directives 2009/72 and 2009/73 regulating the possibility of regional initiatives aimed at deepening mutual integration of the energy markets in certain neighbouring Member States. It further mentions solutions included in the network codes (NC CACM, FCA NC, NC EB) and their implications for integration of energy markets at the regional level. Problems associated with creation of a regional electricity market in the context of their impact on the functioning of the national electricity market, divergent interests of neighbouring countries and the absence of appropriate legal instruments were also discussed.
