  The European Parliament adopted by 551 votes to 24, with 25 abstentions, a legislative resolution amending, under the consultation procedure, the proposal for a Council regulation concerning the notification to the Commission of investment projects in energy infrastructure within the European Community and repealing Regulation (EC) No 736/96.The main amendments were as follows:Legal basis: the Regulation should be based on the new 'energy' legal basis, Art. 194(1) TFEU. The decision-making procedure under this new provision is the ordinary legislative procedure (the former "codecision" procedure). Purpose and scope: Parliament states that this Regulation establishes a common framework for the notification to the Commission of data and information on investment projects in energy infrastructure in the oil, gas, coal, to ensure the confidentiality of the data provided by undertakings. This Regulation shall also apply to EU companies which invest in energy infrastructure projects in third countries which are directly connected to or impact on the energy networks of one or more Member States. In addition, it shall also apply to the types of investment projects, on which construction (and not work) has started or is scheduled to start within five years.Definitions: Members would like to include in the definition of ‘investment projects’ the development of new interconnections with energy transport systems between the EU and its neighbouring countries. It should also be noted that the Regulation should foresee a specific mention of district heat – production of heat, of combined heat and power, district heating and cooling. It should also mention district heating and cooling under ‘transport’. Lastly, the definition of “storage" shall mean the storage on a permanent or temporary basis of thermal and electrical energy or energy sources in above ground and underground infrastructure or geological sites, or the containment of carbon dioxide in underground geological formations. Reporting: as the Regulation will only be adopted in 2010, Members consider it unrealistic to request reporting as of 2010 and propose the beginning of 2011 as an alternative date (as opposed to the beginning of 2010 as proposed by the Commission).Data sources: Members consider that it has to be ensured that the information and data provided by other means is fully compatible and comparable with the data and information provided by notification. They also place emphasis on the aim of avoiding double reporting and unnecessary administrative burdens.Content of the notification: information should include, inter alia: (i) the volume of the capacities planned or under construction; (ii) the location, name, type and main characteristics of infrastructure or capacities planned or under construction, with details of which are at the planning stage and which are under construction; (iii) the date on which the initial request for authorisation was received by the relevant authorities and the estimated date by which all necessary construction authorisations and permits will have been granted; (iv) the temporary unavailability or interruption of the operation of an infrastructure for a period exceeding three years; (v) the probable date of decommissioning, including, where applicable, the intermediate dates for the gradual phasing out of the operation of the infrastructure; (vi) the list of planned measures for environmental rehabilitation, where such rehabilitation is required by specific legislation.Where Member States possess any information concerning delays and/or obstacles to the implementation of investment projects, their delegated entities or the specific body shall include that information in the notification.Quality and publicity of data: an amendment states that Member States, the entity they delegate to or where appropriate the specific bodies entrusted with EU energy sector specific investment plans shall ensure the quality, relevance, accuracy, clarity, timeliness and coherence of data and information they notify to the Commission. If the information is not sufficiently clear and comprehensive, the Commission may require those bodies to provide additional information. The Commission shall publish aggregated data and information forwarded pursuant to this Regulation. Such publication shall be without prejudice to the relevant national and European Union legislation relating to public access to information, in particular environmental information, information regarding publicly listed companies or information on the public financing of investment projects. Member States, their delegated entities and the Commission shall each be responsible for preserving the confidentiality of commercially sensitive data or information in their possession.Implementing measures: in order to avoid administrative burden, an amendment aims to clarify how the exemption in the case of double reporting is to be applied.Data processing: given the highly sensitive nature of the data and information requested by the Commission, it must ensure that the IT resources needed for the purposes guarantee the confidentiality of the data and information notified to the Commission pursuant to this Regulation.Monitoring and reporting: on the basis of data and information forwarded and, if appropriate, of any other data sources including data purchased by the Commission, the Commission shall provide at least every two years a cross-sector analysis of the structural evolution and perspectives of the EU energy system in particular with a view to: (i) identifying potential future gaps and/or surplus of energy supply and demand with a special emphasis on potential forthcoming deficiencies and flaws in the production and transmission infrastructure, in particular those due to aging of infrastructures; (ii) monitoring the evolution of investment projects from the date of the notification to actual implementation, and in particular the development of renewable sources of energy, promoting best practices to address identified obstacles; (iii) increasing transparency for market participants and potential entrants; (iv) monitoring EU investment projects in third countries having an impact on the EU energy market and security; (v) identifying the risk of an excessive dependency on a single energy infrastructure, as well as the risks linked to connections with third countries; (vi) identifying investment needs for improving the functioning of the internal energy market (reverse flows and interconnectors for example) .The Commission shall be obliged to discuss their analyses with interested parties.The Commission shall, with a view to ensuring consistency between the various monitoring-related publications, take due account of multiannual energy infrastructure investment plans drawn up by special bodies established pursuant to other pieces of legislation, such as Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 on electricity.Annex: Members consider that the Regulation should: (i) take into account the capacity of extraction/production of oil and gas, (ii) provide reporting obligations for natural gas capacities; (iii) reduce the threshold for onshore wind farms; (iv) to include, in the Annex, a chapter on coal infrastructure.

  PURPOSE: to revise and further strengthen the system laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 736/96 on notification to the Commission of investment projects in EU energy infrastructure, while easing the administrative burden.PROPOSED ACT: Council Regulation.BACKGROUND: in the context of the new Energy Policy aiming at securing supply, mitigating climate change and ensuring competitiveness, significant investment in energy infrastructure is crucial. Private economic operators have now a more prominent role for investment in infrastructure. Obtaining an overall picture of the development of investment in energy infrastructure in the Community is one feature of such a policy. It should enable the Community to make the necessary comparisons, evaluations or to take relevant measures based on appropriate figures and analysis, in particular concerning the future energy supply – demand balance. The Commission has to monitor closely the situation to anticipate any potential problems and bring sufficient transparency to market participants. However, the Commission needs appropriate data on investment projects.The current regulatory framework imposing on Member States reporting obligations on energy infrastructure is heterogeneous. Relevant and validated data is not sufficiently available for monitoring developments in a cross – sector perspective at EU level. In addition, Council Regulation (EC) No 736/96 on notification to the Commission of investment projects in EU energy infrastructure in the petroleum, natural gas and electricity sectors is no longer enforced consistently and geared to the most recent evolutions of the energy sector.In the wake of the Second Strategic Energy Review adopted in 2008 by the Commission, both the Council of the European Union1 and the European Parliament agreed with the Commission and insisted on promoting investments and improving transparency as well as of intensifying the works on supply and generation adequacy outlooks and network development plans.IMPACT ASSESSMENT: the Commission considered four policy options:Option 0:Status quo - Policy monitoring without a specific reporting mechanism;Option 1:Repeal of Council Regulation (EC) No 736/96;Option 2: Policy monitoring with a complementary reporting mechanism;Option 3: Policy monitoring with a fully-fledged reporting mechanism.The Commission considers that Option 2 (policy monitoring with a complementary reporting mechanism) provides the best compromise.CONTENT: the proposed Regulation establishes a common framework for the notification to the Commission of data and information on investment projects in energy infrastructure in the petroleum, gas, electricity and bio-fuel sectors and related to carbon dioxide produced by these sectors.Every two years, Member States or the entity they delegate this task to would be required to collect and notify data and information on investment projects concerning production, transport and storage. To minimise the administrative burden, two elements of flexibility and simplification are introduced:unless otherwise decided by Member States, undertakings would be under an obligation to provide Member States - or the competent entity - information on their investment projects, including decommissioning projects;Member States would be exempted from reporting if they already provide equivalent information to the Commission under EU energy sector-specific legislation. This would also be the case if the bodies in charge of network development plans for gas and electricity collect the relevant data. In this case, they would be requested to notify the relevant data to the Commission, with the appropriate comments of Member States if necessary.Data and information collected (type of investment, planned capacities and major obstacles, etc.) would provide the major trends for investment in EU energy infrastructure. Provision is made to guarantee that data and information notified to the Commission meet generally accepted standards; that data and information are received, stored and processed with the appropriate IT tools and in full compliance with the legal framework on data protection for individuals; that data and information will be made public except where they are commercially sensitive.On the basis of the data and information received, the Commission will provide a regular and cross-sector analysis of the structural evolution and perspectives of the EU energy system and any other specific analysis needed. This would allow for an identification of potential future demand and supply gaps and obstacles to investment. With these analyses, the Commission will be in a better position to promote best practice and to establish greater transparency for market participants. To develop common views on these issues, the results of these analyses would be discussed with stakeholders and published.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the proposal will have a limited impact on the Community budget, in particular to cover expenditure on information technology and, should the Commission so decide, expenditure on data purchasing of data and reimbursement of experts. No major direct impact is foreseen for the budgets of Member States.

Amendment 30 # Yannick JADOT Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) The introduction of a common energy policy aiming at securing the Community's energy supply, a transition towards a ~~low carbon energy system~~n energy-efficient economy based on renewable energy and the functioning of competitive energy markets is an objective which the Community has set itself. Amendment 31 # Yannick JADOT Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Obtaining an overall picture of the development of investment in energy infrastructure in the Community is one feature of such a policy. It should enable the Community to make the necessary comparisons, evaluations or to take relevant measures based on appropriate figures and analysis, in particular concerning the future energy supply – demand balance, following a full public consultation, which involves all relevant groups and associations. Amendment 32 # Adam GIEREK Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) The energy landscape within and outside the Community has significantly changed for the worse in supply terms in recent years and makes investment in energy infrastructure a crucial ~~issue for securing the Community's energy supply, for the~~problem to be resolved with a view to securing a regular supply of energy for the Community and ensuring the uninterrupted functioning of the internal market and ~~for~~ the transition towards a high- efficiency, low -carbon energy system the Community has embarked on. Amendment 33 # Yannick JADOT Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) The energy landscape within and outside the Community has significantly changed in recent years and makes investment in energy infrastructure a crucial issue for securing the Community's energy supply, for the functioning of the internal market and for the transition towards a ~~low carbon energy system~~n energy-efficient economy based on renewable energy the Community has embarked on. Amendment 34 # Yannick JADOT Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The new energy context requires significant investment in all infrastructure, in ~~all energ~~particular in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors, as well as the development of new types of infrastructure and new technologies being taken up by the market. The liberalisation of the energy sector and the further integration of the internal market give a more prominent role to economic operators for investment and at the same time, new policy requirements such as targets affecting the fuel mix will alter Member States’ policies towards new and/or modernised energy infrastructure. Amendment 35 # Yannick JADOT Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) Member States should for this purpose always consider reducing energy consumption in line with the EU's 20% target on energy efficiency, as the most cost-effective means of attaining its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions targets, and improving and building on existing infrastructure before investing in new infrastructure. Investment projects in energy infrastructure should be fully aligned with the 2020 target of at least 20% energy from sustainable renewable sources. Amendment 36 # Adam GIEREK Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) Given the new energy policy objectives and market developments, greater attention should be paid to priority investment in energy infrastructure in the Community, in particular with a view to anticipating problems with security of supply, promoting best practices and establishing greater transparency on the future development of ~~the~~interconnected energy systems in the Community. Amendment 37 # Adam GIEREK Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) The Commission and in particular the Market Observatory for Energy should therefore, with a view to providing the necessary guarantees for investment priorities, dispose of accurate data and information on current and future investment projects, including partial decommissioning on a temporary or permanent basis, in the most significant components of the energy system of the Community. Amendment 38 # Marian-Jean MARINESCU Proposal for a regulation 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. Amendment 39 # Adam GIEREK Proposal for a regulation 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~~important to future Community investment.
