ISBN 978-1-907555-51-0 ii Preface In 2010 Patrick Heather published his paper ‘The Evolution and Functioning of the Traded Gas Market in Britain’ which described the genesis and development of Britain’s traded gas market for which the political and financial imperatives of the early 1980’s, as much as the desire to create a competitive market, were a key factor. In Continental Europe both the drivers for change and the challenges to be overcome have been markedly different. Nevertheless the combination of the desire at an EU policy level to encourage competition through an evolving regulatory framework, the catalyst of the economic recession in creating a preference for hub based price formation mechanisms and, not to be understated, the sea-change in the acceptance of trading as being central in the procurement and risk management of natural gas portfolios have all contributed to an astonishing development in European gas hubs over the past few years.
