TAR NC Implementation Document – Second Edition September 2017
Application of the TAR NC at non-IPs which are points with
third countries
At entry-points-from/exit-points-to third countries, the applicability of the TAR NC
depends on the type of rule involved. Figure 4 shows the following distinction:
\\
If the rules have a ‘broader scope’ as described above, then they automatically
apply, since entry-points-from/exit-points-to third countries fall under
‘all entry
points and all exit points of gas transmission networks’
per Article 2(1) of the
TAR NC.
\\
If the rules have ‘limited scope’ as described above, then they apply only if the
NRA has taken a decision to apply the CAM NC at those points. No separate
national decision to apply the TAR NC at those points is needed.
