requirements Chapter-by-Chapter. Each Chapter starts by indicating its scope
and application date (‘AD’).
\\Part 1 ‘Overview of the TAR NC requirements’: this Part addresses ‘what’ the
TAR NC contains, offering an overview of the TAR NC requirements Article-by-
Article. Chapters within Part 1 of the TAR IDoc follow the structure of the TAR
NC. The body of each Chapter follows the order of the TAR NC Articles.
\\Part 2 ‘Indicative timeline for the TAR NC implementation’: this Part deals
with ‘when’, elaborating the indicative timeline for implementing the TAR NC,
and identifying the parties responsible for complying with different obligations.
Chapters within Part 2 of the TAR IDoc include: (1) a table summarising all the
TAR NC obligations for the TSOs, NRAs, ENTSOG, ACER and the EC; (2) a gen-
eral implementation timeline applicable for all MSs; and (3) different timelines
depending on the tariff period applied in a given MS.

Next steps
The 29th Madrid Forum invited ENTSOG and ACER ‘to support and monitor the
implementation’ of the TAR NC ‘and report back to the Forum’1) . Both editions of the
TAR IDoc are part of ENTSOG’s response to this invitation. Also, shortly before the
TAR NC entry into force, ENTSOG organised the First TAR NC Implementation
Workshop on 29 March 2017 to inform the market about implementing the TAR NC.
The video recordings of the presentations at that Workshop are made publicly
available2) , and the question-and-answer sessions are captured in the minutes3).
We plan to hold the Second TAR NC Implementation Workshop on 5 October 2017,
to inform the market about the progress with implementing the TAR NC. Similar to
the First TAR NC Implementation Workshop, we have chosen this date for its
proximity to the TAR NC’s second application date of 1 October 2017, offering
stakeholders timely notice of the implementation challenges.
ENTSOG will consider whether it is necessary to issue a third edition of the TAR
IDoc. The decision will be taken based on the stakeholder feedback and internal
discussions. Stakeholders will be informed accordingly.
