Article 22 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 4
Before granting an exemption the regulatory authority shall decide upon the rules and mechanisms for management and allocation of capacity. The rules shall require that all potential users of the infrastructure are invited to indicate their interest in contracting capacity before capacity allocation in the new infrastructure, including for own use, takes place. The allocation procedure shall not increase the relative weight of the dominant supplier unless the entire capacity demand of third parties is reasonably covered. The regulatory authority shall decide on this aspect. The regulatory authority shall require congestion management rules to include the obligation to offer unused capacity on the market, and shall require users of the facility to be entitled to trade their contracted capacities on the secondary market. In its assessment of the criteria referred to in paragraph 1(a), (b) and (e) of this Article, the regulatory authority shall take into account the results of that capacity allocation procedure.
