12 Priorities for the regional cooperation 12

13 Priorities for the regional cooperation Sharing EU s best practices in the implementation of the Third Energy Package Assistance in strengthening the independence and functional capabilities of NRAs of the CPs Enhanced implementation of new interconnection projects (technical and financial assistance) Equal treatment vis-à-vis the Contracting Parties Harmonised regulatory and operational practices Regional approach in solving security of supply Cooperative involvement of the CPs 13

14 HLRG recommendations NRA related Proposal 4.1: EnC institutions should be better and more efficiently linked with the institutions set up within the EU internal market under the Third Energy Package In particular, the CP NRAs should be represented in ACER Participation of CP NRAs in ACER should be developed more explicitly than envisaged in Regulation (EC) No 713/2009 which refers to the participation of regulatory bodies of any third countries applying EU energy law. Moreover, an option for a meaningful participation in ACER will raise the attractiveness of the Energy Community vis-a-vis those countries who are not yet members Proposal 4.9: In the light of progressive integration of markets, the membership of CP NRAs in ECRB should be gradually phased out and replaced by CP NRAs membership in ACER, while keeping the ECRB for energy regulators from Associated Members 14

15 HLRG recommendations TSO related Proposal 4.1: EnC institutions should be better and more efficiently linked with the institutions set up within the EU internal market under the Third Energy Package In particular, [...] TSOs [should be represented] in ENTSO-E and ENTSOG TSOs from Contracting Parties should also have a right to become members of ENTSOG as they can become members of ENTSO-E 15

16 Cooperation within the GRI SSE framework Regional approach incl. the Energy Community Potential nomination of new pilot projects Potential formal extension of GRI SSE members Extended regional SoS-related cooperation 16
