6.4 PCI Status
Over the last years the importance of the projects
related to the opening of the South-North Corridor
has been underlined by the European Commission
throughout the PCI (Projects of Common Interest)
process.
The following table lists the reverse flow projects on the backbone of the South-North
Corridor that have received the PCI label in the 2
nd
PCI selection round as adopted
in November 2015.

These projects were also part of the very first PCI list in 2013, together with the
project creating physical reverse flow from Switzerland to France.
The Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) project that will supply the South-North Corridor
with Azeri gas has also been awarded the PCI label, again highlighting the importance
Europe awards to a further increase in diversification of supplies to the EU market.
All projects currently holding the PCI label are part of the ENTSOG TYNDP 2017 and
have endeavored to apply again for a prolongation of this priority status in the 3
rd
PCI
