Introduction
A Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP)
incorporating cost-benefit analysis (CBA) method-
ology to support the Project of Common Interest
(PCI) selection was published in 2015 for the first
time. The third phase of the Gas Regional In

Guidelines added new documents that increased
the cooperation with stakeholders. The early imple-
mentation of CAM and BAL Network Codes (NCs)
brought us first insights on how they are working.
In July, ENTSOG delivered a revised version of TAR
Network Code as well as the Amendment on Incre-
mental Capacity to CAM Network Code. Since

TAR NC, the European Commission took over the
continued code development in October. ENTSOG
was still involved but in a more consultative role.
After having successfully developed the main part
of gas network codes over the previous years,
ENTSOG must now take responsibility for ensuring
that the codes work as intended. We have labelled
this the Functionality Process. This process was
The year 2015 was another challenging year for ENTSOG. Together with the
already envisaged deliverables, new activities from ACER and the European
Commission required our attention.
