Priorities for the regional cooperation
12
Energy Community Secretariat Energy Community Secretariat
• Sharing EU’s best practices in the implementation of the Third Energy Package
• Assistance in strengthening the independence and functional capabilities of NRAs of the CPs
• Enhanced implementation of new interconnection projects (technical and financial assistance)
• Equal treatment vis-à-vis the Contracting Parties
• Harmonised regulatory and operational practices
• Regional approach in solving security of supply
• Cooperative involvement of the CPs
13
Priorities for the regional cooperation
Energy Community Secretariat Energy Community Secretariat
• Proposal 4.1: “EnC institutions should be better and more efficiently linked with the
institutions set up within the EU internal market under the Third Energy Package”
• “In particular, the CP NRAs should be represented in ACER”
• “Participation of CP NRAs in ACER should be developed more explicitly than
envisaged in Regulation (EC) No 713/2009 which refers to the
participation of regulatory bodies of any third countries applying EU
energy law. Moreover, an option for a meaningful participation in ACER will
raise the attractiveness of the Energy Community vis-a-vis those countries who
are not yet members”
• Proposal 4.9: “In the light of progressive integration of markets, the membership of
CP NRAs in ECRB should be gradually phased out and replaced by CP NRAs’
membership in ACER, while keeping the ECRB for energy regulators from
Associated Members”

• Proposal 4.1: “EnC institutions should be better and more efficiently linked with the
institutions set up within the EU internal market under the Third Energy Package”
• “In particular, [...] TSOs [should be represented] in ENTSO-E and ENTSOG”
• “TSOs from Contracting Parties should also have a right to become members
of ENTSOG as they can become members of ENTSO-E”

HLRG recommendations – TSO related
