DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c92329) has announced the
addition of "Gas deregulation Report & Directory Ed 4 2008" to their
offering.

   In the last edition of this report we listed a series of problems
affecting the market. It is increasingly apparent that deregulating
energy markets is not easy. The path is full of pitfalls and very few
countries which have embarked in this course are now where they
thought they would be. Three regions of the world provide many
valuable lessons in privatisation and liberalisation, Europe, North
America and South America. Some countries in each of these regions
were the first to embark on energy market liberalisation and provide
many case histories, some with successful and a few with disastrous
outcomes. Another interesting factor in Europe and the US is the
combination of local and central markets; in the US federal versus
state and in Europe national versus the EU. Market deregulation has
given an impetus to the emergence of a small number of very large
players which are increasingly dominating national markets and, some
believe, threatening competition.

   The Gas Deregulation Report outlines the progress of gas market
deregulation and privatisation in every continent and the situation of
each of the countries with gas markets. An overview of the global gas
sector is provided and an extensive series of tables, charts and
graphics are contained in the report.

   This report and database package also contains a directory of 425
global regulators listing contact details where available including
country, region, regulator name, address, telephone, fax and email.
