1. Background
As a part of the Treaty establishing the Energy Community (Title II The Extension of the
acquis communautaire, Chapter VI Compliance with generally applicable standards of the
European Community), Articles 21-23 specify the following obligations:
within one year of the date of entry into force of the Treaty, the Secretariat shall draw
up a list of the Generally Applicable Standards of the European Community, to be
submitted to the Ministerial Council for adoption; and the Contracting Parties shall,
within one year of the adoption of the list, adopt development plans to bring their
Network Energy sectors into line with these Generally Applicable Standards of the
European Community.
2. Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose to the Contracting Parties a list of Generally
Applicable Standards of the European Community relating to natural gas.
3. Objective
Generally Applicable Standards of the European Community refer to any technical system
standard that is applied within the European Community, and is necessary for operating
network systems safely and efficiently, including aspects of transmission, cross-border
connections, modulation and general technical system security standards issued where
applicable via:
the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) web link to the On-line
Catalogue of European Standards http://www.cen.eu/catweb/cwen.htm;
4. Steps
Reg.No: MC2/4-3/04-04-07ECS
ECS to finalise the list on the basis of comments given by the Contracting Parties by
30 May 2007 and submit it in due time for the PHLG and MC June 2007 meetings.
