  1. Accessing European LNG terminals Rocío Prieto, Co-Chair CEER LNG TF 20th Madrid Forum 26-27 September 2011

  2. LNG imports in Europe. Tm Year 60,000 Greece 50,000 Portugal Italy 40,000 Belgium 30,000 UnitedKingdom 20,000 France Spain 10,000 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 • European LNG market trends • LNG is increasing itsrole in European gas markets (15% of total European gas supplies in 2010) • Security and diversification + current competitive prices. • Elements that could influence LNG further expansion: • Optimising existing LNG import capacity (2010 average LNG terminals utilisation ratio: 51%); • Building new infrastructures (There are initiatives in almost any coastal country in the region); • New market arrangements and LNG codes; • Gas demand recovery. Spot trading, potential role of shale gas…; • LNG supply sources, capacities, prices, number of agents in the downstream markets. European LNG importsources in 2011 2011/2010 imports growth: +17% until May Source: Waterbone

  3. Conclusions of the 1st Workshop on Access to European LNG terminals Madrid, 6th September 2011 • Panel 1. Trends in European gas markets: potential role for LNG • Increasing role of LNG in European gas sector; • In a competitive scenario, it is essential to ensure the attractiveness of the EU markets´ conditions for LNG imports to effectively contribute to security of supply, competition and renewables integration in Europe. • Panel 2. European regulation governing LNG markets • Further regulatory harmonisation is not foreseen in the short term; • Challenges can emerge from the cohabitation of both regulated and exempted terminals in Europe; • It is important to consider the role of LNG in the gas target model and the relation of network codes and LNG operational rules. • Panel 3. Accessing European LNG terminals: operation and transparency • GLE + CEER Transparency Template presented.

  4. TransparencyTemplate 19th Madrid Forum mandated CEER and GLE. If harmonisation is not considered, transparency must be guaranteed. The purpose is to provide information for promoting potential users´ access +facilitate “terminal to terminal” deviation. CONTENT LSO´s will publish, on their websites, a common template with the information needed to access all European LNG terminals; Information available: All necessary requirements for a fair LNG terminal access (i.e.licenses, arrangements to be signed, services description, main regulatory and technical provisions, tariffs, agendas.…) Discussions with GLE are advanced. Expected to be finished in 2011. A commitment by LSOs is needed to implement it along 2012.
