during the final news conference at the European Summit in Barcelona
March 16, 2002 where EU leaders clinched a deal on Saturday to break
France's state electricity monopoly in what had become a test case for
free-market economic reforms. Aznar said that a touchstone issue, the
liberalisation of electricity and gas markets for industrial and other
business users, had been resolved. REUTERS/Marcelo Del Pozo
