Collaboration with
the Energy Community
Ever since its founding, ENTSOG has closely supported the work
of the Energy Community. The Energy Community is an interna-
tional organisation dealing with energy policy. The Energy Com-
munity is an international organisation dealing with energy policy
whose mission is to extend the EU internal energy market to
South East Europe and beyond on the basis of a legally binding
framework. The organistion was founded by a treaty in October
2005 in Athens, Greece. The parties to the treaty are the Europe-
an Union and eight contracting parties from South-East Europe
and the Black Sea region.
In 2014, ENTSOG engaged the cooperation
of the Energy Community in different ways. Ac-
cording to Regulation (EC) 715 / 2009, ENTSOG
has to adopt recommendations relating to the
coordination of technical cooperation between
Member States and third country transmission
system operators. ENTSOG and the Energy
Community Secretariat agreed, in a meeting
held at the premises of the Secretariat in Vienna
on 1 October 2014, to continue the positive co-
operation that started in 2013. It was agreed to
have a working level meeting in the first half of
2015. The aim is to support the contracting
parties to the Energy Community in adopting
business rules resulting from the Code.
In addition, it was agreed to engage with third
country TSOs to develop the Early Warning
System, especially given the crisis in Ukraine.
Therefore ENTSOG presented the Early Warning
