The regulatory framework has to provide more streamlined process for decisions on TPA regime and licencing, and ensure a viable rate of financial return
from the investment.
Permit Granting
Affected by delays
Political
Government support expected on issues such as streamlined permitting and regulatory decisions on commercial development, availability of financial
incentives
Market
Development of the networks of neighboring gas TSOs to be interconnected with IGB should be incentivised to ensure proper technical conditions for

supply gas from IGB to the wider SEE region.
