Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 4 a (new)

(4a) Markets in many Member States are dominated by large players. National regulatory authorities should be given the power to identify market dominance by a gas undertaking and put forward a medium term plan to limit the share at any relevant market to 50%, even further than the Commission's criteria for assessing significant market power. The relevant market should be defined by the Commission and should take into account any changes to the geographic scope of the market.

Directive 2003/55/EC
Article 9

Article 9 Independent system operators 1. Where the transmission system belongs to a vertically integrated undertaking on entry into force of this Directive, Member States may grant derogations from Article 7(1), provided that an independent system operator is designated by the Member State upon a proposal from the transmission system owner and subject to approval of such designation by the Commission. Vertically integrated undertakings which own a transmission system may not in any event be prevented from taking steps to comply with Article 7(1). 2. The Member State may approve and designate an independent system operator only where: (a) the candidate operator has demonstrated that it complies with the requirements of Article 7(1)(b) to (d); (b) the candidate operator has demonstrated that it has at its disposal the required financial, technical and human resources to carry out its tasks under Article 8; (c) the candidate operator has committed to complying with a ten year network development plan proposed by the regulatory authority; (d) the transmission system owner has demonstrated its ability to comply with its obligations under paragraph 6. To this effect, it shall provide all the draft contractual arrangements with the candidate undertaking and any other relevant entity; (e) the candidate operator has demonstrated its ability to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EC) No 1775/05 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 September 2005 on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission network* including the cooperation of transmission system operators at European and regional level. 3. Undertakings which have been certified by the regulatory authority as having complied with the requirements of Articles 7a and 9(2) shall be approved and designated as independent system operators by Member States. The certification procedure in Article 7b shall be applicable. 4. Where the Commission has taken a decision in accordance with the procedure in Article 7b and finds that the regulatory authority has not complied with its decision within two months, it shall, within a period of six months, designate, on a proposal from the Agency and after having heard the views of the transmission system owner and the transmission system operator, an independent system operator for a period of 5 years. At any time, the transmission system owner may propose to the regulatory authority the designation of a new independent system operator pursuant to the procedure in Article 9(1). 5. Each independent system operator shall be responsible for granting and managing third party access, including the collection of access charges and congestion rents, for operating, maintaining and developing the transmission system, as well as for ensuring the long term ability of the system to meet reasonable demand through investment planning. When developing the network the independent system operator is responsible for planning (including authorisation procedure), construction and commissioning of the new infrastructure. For this purpose, it shall act as a transmission system operator in accordance with this Chapter. Transmission system owners may not be responsible for granting and managing third party access, nor for investment planning. 6. Where an independent system operator has been designated, the transmission system owner shall: (a) provide all the relevant cooperation and support to the independent system operator for the fulfilment of its tasks, including in particular all relevant information; (b) finance the investments decided by the independent system operator and approved by the regulatory authority, or give its agreement to financing by any interested party including the independent system operator. The relevant financing arrangements shall be subject to approval by the regulatory authority Prior to this approval, the Regulatory Authority shall consult the asset owner together with other interested parties; (c) provide for the coverage of liability relating to the network assets that it owns and are managed by the independent system operator, excluding the liability relating to the tasks of the independent system operator; (d) provide guarantees to facilitate financing any network expansions with the exception of those investments where, pursuant to paragraph b, it has given its agreement to financing by any interested party including the independent system operator. 7. In close cooperation with the regulatory authority, the relevant national competition authority shall be granted all relevant powers to effectively monitor compliance of the transmission system owner with its obligations under paragraph 6.deleted

Directive 2003/55/EC
Article 9a

Unbundling of transmission system owner and storage system operator 1. Transmission system owners, where an independent system operator has been appointed, and storage system operators which are part of vertically integrated undertakings shall be independent at least in terms of their legal form, organisation and decision making from other activities not relating to transmission and storage. This Article shall only apply to storage facilities that are technically and/or economically necessary for providing efficient access to the system for the supply of customers pursuant to Article 19. 2. In order to ensure the independence of the transmission system owner and storage system operator referred to in paragraph 1, the following minimum criteria shall apply: (a) those persons responsible for the management of the transmission system owner and storage system operator may not participate in company structures of the integrated natural gas undertaking responsible, directly or indirectly, for the day-to-day operation of the production, distribution and supply of natural gas; (b) appropriate measures must be taken to ensure that the professional interests of persons responsible for the management of the transmission system owner and storage system operator are taken into account in a manner that ensures that they are capable of acting independently; (c) the storage system operator shall have effective decision-making rights, independent from the integrated gas undertaking, with respect to assets necessary to operate, maintain or develop the storage facilities. This shall not preclude the existence of appropriate coordination mechanisms to ensure that the economic and management supervision rights of the parent company in respect of return on assets regulated indirectly in accordance with Article 24c(4) in a subsidiary are protected. In particular, this shall enable the parent company to approve the annual financial plan, or any equivalent instrument, of the storage system operator and to set global limits on the levels of indebtedness of its subsidiary. It shall not permit the parent company to give instructions regarding day-to-day operations, nor with respect to individual decisions concerning the construction or upgrading of storage facilities, that do not exceed the terms of the approved financial plan, or any equivalent instrument; (d) the transmission system owner and storage system operator shall establish a compliance programme, which sets out measures taken to ensure that discriminatory conduct is excluded, and ensure that observance of it is adequately monitored. The programme shall set out the specific obligations of employees to meet this objective. An annual report, setting out the measures taken, shall be submitted by the person or body responsible for monitoring the compliance programme to the regulatory authority and shall be published. 3. The Commission may adopt guidelines to ensure full and effective compliance of the transmission system owner and of the storage operator with paragraph 2 of this Article. This measure designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 30(3).Article 9a deleted
