Competition,

made possible by a well-diversified mix of supply sources, which

will be further enriched in the near future by the new gas flows from the

Southern Gas Corridor (as shown in Figure 5.3 building further on the EC map

with gas PCIs).

Regional gas systems are already reaping the benefits stemming from the fulfillment

of these criteria, which all together represent the dimensions of a well-functioning

and secure gas market.

The advantages for the SNC Region are underpinned by a range of gas infrastructures

not limited to a well-developed network of cross-border and internal transmission

lines, but including also a unique landscape in terms of storage resources availability

and LNG terminals regasification capacities. Further targeted enhancements will

enrich these already outstanding asset characteristics, therefore permitting the full

deployment of benefits at Regional and EU-wide scale.

Indeed, considering the position of the Region, the spread of these benefits to the

neighboring Regions would be a natural and positive evolution for the overall EU

internal gas market.
