In April 2006, the DTI concluded a consultation on the possibility of extending Sunday trading hours for larger stores. It also commissioned a cost benefit analysis of such a policy move from consultants Indepen, and that analysis was published in early May 2006. The Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) then asked Europe Economics to review Indepen's report.
Europe Economics has recently completed a review of international evidence on productivity growth in electricity transmission and other sectors for DTe, the Dutch Energy Regulator. This report was commissioned and has been published by DTe as part of its review of price controls for the Dutch electricity transmission operator TenneT.
