Security of Gas Supply Regulation

Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council outlining problems regarding gas supply security and establishing a framework for solidarity among member states in times of gas shortages. It emphasises risk assessment, preventive action and emergency plan for each member state with coordination on EU level. Infrastructure standards were trying to insure proper storage facilities and reverse flow pipelines while supply standards dictate that member states should hold emergency supplies for 30 day of shortage. Gas Coordination Group, consisting of member states representatives, was established to assist the Commission on the EU wide coordination.
