  1. European Association for the Streamlining of Energy Exchange - gas Wim Groenendijk Chairman EASEE-gas Executive Committee

  2. Mission statement To develop and promote common practices to simplify and streamline business processes between the stakeholders that will lead to an efficient and effective European Gas Market

  3. Structure • Membership is divided into 8 segments representing different parts of the gas chain

  5. Membership of segments • On 14th February there were 80 full members and 14 Associate members of EASEE-gas. • Six segments are currently Active

  6. EASEE-gas Organisation Basic principles • open, independent organisation • full members: vote and fee • associate members: no vote, no fee • driven by volunteers • financed through membership fees

  7. Executive Committee • First established in March 2003 • The Executive Committee (ExCom) has overall responsibility for the development, modification and documentation of the CBPs, and for the co-ordination of the Working Groups. • ExCom currently consists of 18 members, with each active Gas Industry Segment electing three members. • ExCom met seven times in 2005, including a workshop with all the Working Group Chairmen and members of the Advisory Panel.

  8. Common Business Practices • Finalised to date: • CBP 2003-01 Harmonisation of Units • CBP 2003-02 Harmonisation of Nominations & Matching Process • CBP 2003-03 EDIG@S • CBP 2005-01 Harmonisation of Gas Quality Specifications • CBP 2005-02 Interconnection Agreement • CBP 2005-03 Constraints Handling

  9. Gas Quality Harmonisation • Madrid Forum VII (2002) identified the need for removing technical obstacles for interoperability of different natural gas qualities. • Different requirements throughout Europe regarding natural gas quality are a potential and real barrier for the creation of an efficient European gas market. • Madrid Forum invited EASEE-gas to take the lead in discussions among stakeholders with the aim of streamlining interoperability for high calorific gases.

  10. Gas Quality Harmonisation Extensive industry consultation has taken place Technical advice received from Marcogaz, the technical association of the European Natural Gas Industry, reviewing the safety implications for household appliances in the interest of small consumers.

  11. Gas Quality Harmonisation Approved parameters, values and ranges

  12. Gas Quality Harmonisation CBP 2005-01 was approved by the EASEE-gas Executive Committee on 3 February 2005. • The CBP recommends natural gas quality specifications at cross border points in Europe and describes recommended gas quality parameters, parameter ranges and an implementation plan. • Natural gas arriving at cross border points in line with these proposed quality specifications can not be refused for quality reasons.

  13. Seven active Working Groups • IT Communication Network • Edig@s Message Codification and Maintenance • Business Rules • Message Specification • Gas Quality Harmonisation • Codes and Definitions • Gas Business Process Model • Harmonisation of units (Work complete and no longer active) • Real-Time Data Exchange (Not currently active) • ebXML (Not currently active)

  14. Common Business Practices • Key other areas with work in progress: • Codification • Use of VPNs to establish a single communication network for exchange of messages between market players • Edig@s Messaging Protocols • Capacity trading on secondary market • Allocation challenges • Customer switching process • Gas quality harmonization follow-up

  15. At the invitation of the Madrid Forum, the European Commission has launched a study to identify and carry out an inventory of interoperability issues in the gas business with the support of EASEE-gas EASEE-gas asks all relevant stakeholders to support this study.
