  1. GRI SSE – latest developmentsas seen by a concerned TSO OMV Gas, November 2007

  2. Characteristics of SSE region INTRODUCTION to SSE area • Area consists of PL, CZ, SK, A, I, SL,H, RO, BL,GR • Initiative started mid 2006 without Ro and BG • Consumption in SSE 2005 was ~ 150bcm (Italy) • Includes important transit countries and routes – SPP entry ~300mmcm/day, Yamal ~ 110, Mazara ~ 80, BG-Turkey • Is highly dependent on Russian gas for transit and consumption

  3. Phases / focusof the GRI SSE so far Move to practical improvement Start • Definition of priorities • Emphasis on Compliance for transit routes incl. Transparency and interoperability • Studies on hubs and Regional Grid Manager • Investment surveys for transport and storage infrastructure investment plans • Best practice bulletin board • One-stop shop services • ICA / OBA implementation • GTE transparency platform information and EASEEgas efforts Current topics • Improvements on the ground: OBAs, Transparency, Platforms for Secondary trading, Bulletin boards • Theoretical issues like the Regional Gas Grid manager (RGGM) and Regional Entry – Exit System (REETS)

  4. RGGM and REETS – some input • In SSE a long-standing balance of interests between producers, carriers, suppliers and new entrants has been achieved – any substantial re-arrangement has to be doublechecked and we should also deal with the producers` concerns and needs • Standardisation and improvements for the shippers can be achieved in many ways – new RGGM company should not be necessary, although TSOs also see benefits in closer cooperation • The economic autonomy of TSOs should not be touched, although required investment should be made possible in any case • Long-term investment still has to be confirmed and guaranteed mainly by long-term shippers` commitments; this system should never by replaced by negotiated inter-TSO payments given the specifics of the region

  5. How was the GRI SSE perceived so far by the TSOs ? +Good opportunity for networking, information exchange, start of harmonization +Producers` participation would be welcomed + Smaller group size would some see as more efficient + Advocate continuing the GRI until 3rd package takes effect • So far, the concrete output is small • The basic situation, with only a few shippers in the systems is not expected to change quickly, so cost/ benefit is an issue • Secondary capacity trading is very limited • There is concern about future independence and the voluntary character of cooperation
