Recital 125
Recital 125
(125) Long-term contracts are an important part of the gas supply of Member States . However, they should not constitute a barrier to the entry of renewable and low carbon gases, which is why the duration of new contracts concluded after the entry into force of the directive for the supply of unabated fossil gas will not be able to run beyond 2049. Such contracts shall always be in line with the objective of this Directive and are compatible with the TFEU , including the competition rules. It is necessary to take into account long-term contracts in the planning of supply and transport capacity of undertakings.
