(7a) A truly interconnected internal energy market with multiple entry points and reverse flows can only be created by fully interconnecting its gas grids, by building up LNG hubs in Southern and Eastern Europe, by completing the North- South and Southern Gas corridors and by further developing indigenous production; therefore an accelerated development of interconnectors and projects aimed at diversifying supply sources as already shortlisted in the Energy Security Strategy is necessary.

Recital 36

(36) As demonstrated by the October 2014 stress test, solidarity is needed to ensure security of supply across the Union and to keep overall costs to a minimum. If an emergency is declared in any Member State, a two-step approach should be applied to strengthen solidarity. Firstly, all Member States are directly or indirectly interconnected, and which have introduced a higher supply standard should reduce it to default values to make the gas market more liquid. Secondly, if the first step fails to provide the necessary supply, further measures by neighbouring Member States, even if not in an emergency situation, should be triggered to ensure the supply to households, essential social services and district heating installations in the Member State experiencing the emergency, provided that such Member States can prove that all the measures described in its emergency plan have been used, and that all the technical and commercial terms defined in the solidarity agreement in the emergency plan have been met. Member States should identify and describe the details of these solidarity measures in solidarity agreements in their emergency plans, ensuring ~~fair and equitabl~~an appropriate compensation of the natural gas undertakings and of the non-protected customers concerned by the solidarity measures, based on the market value of the costs generated by the interruption of supplies consequent to the implementation of Article 12.

Recital 38

(38) To assess the security of supply situation of a given Member State or region or of the Union, access to the relevant information is essential. In particular, Member States and the Commission need ~~regular~~ access to relevant, non-confidential information from natural gas undertakings regarding the main parameters of the gas supply as a fundamental input in the design of the security of supply policies. Under duly justified circumstances, irrespective of a declaration of emergency, access should also be possible to additional information needed to assess the overall gas supply situation. That additional information would typically be non-price-related gas delivery information, e.g. minimum and maximum gas volumes, delivery points or supply margins. It could, for example, be requested in the event of changes in the pattern of the gas supply to a given buyer or buyers in a Member State which would not be expected if the markets were functioning normally and which could affect the gas supply of the Union or parts of it.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 39

(39) In March 2015, the European Council concluded that gas supply contracts with suppliers from third countries should be made more transparent and compatible with the Union energy security provisions, by guaranteeing at the same time the confidentiality of commercially sensitive information of commercial gas supply contracts. In this context an efficient and targeted mechanism for Member States' access to ~~key~~information of gas supply contracts relevant for the security of gas supply should ensure a comprehensive assessment of relevant risks that can lead to a supply disruption or interfere with the necessary mitigating measures should a crisis nevertheless occur. Under that mechanism certain key gas supply contracts should be automatically notified, immediately after their conclusion, to the Member States. However, any obligation to notify a contract automatically needs to be proportionate. Applying this obligation to contracts between a supplier and a buyer covering 40% of the national market strikes the right balance in terms of administrative efficiency and lays down clear obligations for market participants. This does not mean that other gas supply contracts are not relevant to security of supply. Accordingly, Member States should have the right to request other non- confidential information related to contracts which might negatively affect security of supply of a Member State or region or of the Union as a whole. TIn duly justified circumstances the Commission ~~should have~~may request the same access to ~~the~~information of gas supply contracts ~~as Member Stat~~from the national competent authorities, given its role in assessing the consistency and effectiveness of the preventive action plans and emergency plans to address risks to security of supply at national, regional and EU level. The Commission may call on the Member States to amend the plans so as to take account of the information obtained from the contracts. The confidentiality of commercially sensitive information should be ensured. Improved Commission access to a well-defined set of non-confidential information on commercial contracts should not affect nor duplicate the Commission's and ACER's ongoing efforts to monitor the gas market, and the Commission should intervene if violations of the Union law are identified. The provisions of this Regulation should be without prejudice to the right of the Commission to launch infringement proceedings in accordance with Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and to enforce competition rules, including state aid,.
