Today, 25 March 2009, ERGEG launches a public consultation entitled ERGEG Recommendations on the 10-year gas network development plan.

ERGEG sees the 10-year network development plan as a key tool to improve competition and security of supply. It should provide a shared vision of the future to all the stakeholders. It has to be built on an assessment of the obstacles to gas transit across Europe and address priority developments and TSO projects. This public consultation seeks to initiate discussion and provide input to the Agency to develop guidelines for ENTSOG to work on long term infrastructure development in Europe.

ERGEG welcomes responses from all interested parties. Responses should be sent by email to 10-year-plan@ergeg.org. The closing date for responses is 29 May 2009.

A workshop on this consultation was  held in Brussels on 29th April 2009.

A second workshop was held on 27 October 2009.

And a third workshop will be held on 26  January 2010.  See the 3rd Workshop tab for further information and on-line registration.

Following the public consultation period, ERGEG will publish all comments received from stakeholders. If a respondent would like ERGEG to treat their contribution as confidential, this must be explicitly stated in their submission. If possible, confidential information should be provided as a separate annex, so that the main document may be published.

Any questions on the consultation document should in the first instance be directed to:
