Upon a request from the European Commission, ERGEG is using the so-called interim period until the Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) becomes fully operational to simulate the development of framework guidelines according to the provisions of the 3rd Package. ERGEG has therefore developed a draft pilot framework guideline on capacity allocation in gas transmission networks, which covers cross-border interconnection points between two or more Member States as well as interconnections between adjacent entry-exit-systems within the same Member State, insofar as the points are subject to booking procedures by users.

ERGEG invited all stakeholders to participate in its consultation on the draft pilot framework guideline.
All comments should be submitted by Friday, 26 February 2010 and should be sent by email to: fg_pilot_gas@ergeg.org.

Following the Conclusions of the 17^th Madrid Forum, stakeholders were invited to send their comments to the ERGEG document on recommendations for guidelines on congestion management. This document is intended to serve as input for the Commission when revising the Annex of Regulation (EC) 1775/2005 regarding the rules on congestion management. The deadline for submitting comments was 31 March 2010. 

ERGEG  evaluated the comments received from stakeholders and revised the Recommendations on CMP. 

Any questions on these documents should in the first instance be directed to:
