Hessian Economics Minister hosts symposium on incentive regulation
Alois Riehl, the Economics Minister of the German State of Hessia, hosts the annual conference on "Priority for market and competition". This year's symposium, held on 2 March 2006 in Wiesbaden, focuses on the use of incentive regulation for the regulation of infrastructure networks such as energy and telecommunications. The symposium is very timely and coincides with the regulatory consultation process on the design of incentive regulation in the German energy industry.
Christoph Riechmann, head of Frontier's Cologne office, has been invited as one of the panelists of the event. He will be discussing recent international experience with incentive regulation. He will meet representatives from regulatory offices including Martin Cronenberg, Vice president of the Federal German Regulator (Bundesnetzagentur) and Johannes Mayer, head of the Economics division with the Austrian energy regulator E-Control and utility representatives.
Frontier are incumbent to the regulatory debate in Germany and neighbouring countries through work for regulators, ministries, network utilities and network user groups. Christoph Riechmann has been advising public offices and companies in Germany on incentive regulation since the mid 1990s, when proposals for incentive regulation in the energy sector were first brought into play by the German Federal Economics Ministry (BMWi, now BMWA).
