UKRAINIAN MONITORING MISSION
In November 2014, EC formally asked ENTSOG for support
in establishing a Ukrainian Monitoring Mission (in accord-
ance with Regulation (EU) 994/2010 Article 11 Para. 7 and
the “Rules of procedure for the Gas Coordination Group”
Article 5 and 6). Consequently, ENTSOG supported EC in
setting up the Mission’s terms of reference; an ENTSOG
representative travelled to Ukrtransgaz headquarters on
22 December 2014. This represented a first high-level visit
aiming at building confidence and starting to examine data
exchange needs.
The next meeting took place in January 2015. Representa-
tives from Ukrtransgaz met with ENTSOG and agreed on the
data provisions and formats for the daily data reports.
Ukrtransgaz started to provide EC and ENTSOG with the
daily data report on 3 February 2015.
A number of meetings between Ukrtransgaz, EC and
ENTSOG were held throughout 2015. The daily report was
further improved. At the end of 2015, ENTSOG and the EC
had gained a full understanding of the gas flows into, with-
in and out of Ukraine.
It must be emphasised that Ukrtransgaz has made the dai-
ly reports available without fail and that the talks between
the involved parties were characterised by a high level of
trust and constructive solutions.
COOPERATION WITH ENERGY COMMUNITY AND THIRD-COUNTRY TSOs
During a workshop, ENTSOG presented the final version of
INT NC and how to apply the rules defined in the code.
ENTSOG’s TSO members and contracting parties to EnC
TSOs demonstrated how they apply the technical rules of
INT NC. In addition, “Europe Maghreb Pipeline Limited”
(empl) demonstrated the difficulties demonstrated the diffi-
culties they encounter at IPs when transporting gas from Al-
geria via Morocco to Spain. These examples demonstrated
how important it is to streamline and harmonise the rules
along the whole gas value chain. Furthermore, ENTSOG
presented the latest developments of RCSG (former Early
Warning System). ENTSOG again invited all non-Member
State TSOs to join the Early Warning System teams and
promised to reinforce its efforts in this area in 2016 (in line
with Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 994/2010).
