Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 4
(4) The new information exchange mechanism should only cover intergovernmental agreements which are likley to have an impact on the internal market for energy or on the security of energy supply as these two issues are intrinsically linked. It should comprise in particular all intergovernmental agreements which have an impact on the supply of gas, oil or electricity through fixed infrastructure or which have an impact on the amount of energy imported into the Union from third countries.

Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 13
(13) A permanent exchange of information on intergovernmental agreements at Union level should allow to develop best practices. On the basis of those best practices the Commission should recommend non-binding standard clauses for the use in intergovernmental agreements between Member States and third countries. In particular, standard clauses should address compliance of the intergovernmental agreement with Union competition law and internal energy market rules. The use of these non-binding standard clauses should exclude conflicts of intergovernmental agreements with Union law.
