Finally, political choices accounted for the need to join the European process with
the aim of achieving a liberalised internal market for gas. It is worth noting that
significant changes have already taken place in a number of Baltic countries. The
process of TSO unbundling, the implementation of European network codes and
other measures such as the establishment of gas exchanges create the basis for
viable regulatory framework that can be used for further development of the regional

Finland and the measures to integrate the gas infrastructure in the West Baltic area
(Poland, Denmark and Sweden) showcase that this process has already been
ongoing and is gradually progressing.
