Is the EC in favour of regulating access to gas storage?
Non-discriminatory access to storage is supposed to be ensured under the existing gas directive, either by regulation or by negotiation. The preliminary results of the Inquiry tend to suggest that negotiated access is not working yet. Regulators will produce a second monitoring report. The EC is seeking industry views as to whether – should that report show access to storage as still being unsatisfactory regulation might be needed.
