Editorial
Dear Readers,

As the credit crunch continues to take its toll on global markets, as an industry we are challenged with the short-term implications these volatile markets present to us. However we also cannot underestimate the long-term impact that the slowdown of investment in Utilities infrastructure will have on Europe's energy market and how we should react to this.
