Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- RWE AG, Germany's second-biggest
power utility, said the European Union proposal to regulate
financial derivatives would endanger the region's energy market.
"This proposal will endanger the success this industry has
achieved in the years to date," RWE said today in an-e-mailed
statement. At risk is "a well-functioning market" with
competition between brokers and exchanges as well as transparent
pricing, it said.
