Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Data and information regarding foreseeable developments in production, transport and storage capacities and projects in the various energy sectors are of interest to the Community. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the Commission is notified of investment projects on which work has started or is scheduled to start within five years and which aim at taking infrastructure out of commission within three years. In order to clarify the stage at which planned investment projects should be notified, this Regulation should cover only those projects which are approved by the competent authority, and therefore those for which the necessary authorisation has been granted.
