ACER Role and Process

The European Network Codes aim to contribute to the objectives of the 3rd Energy Package, in particular, non-discrimination, effective competition and the efficient functioning of the market. ACER’s role as set out in Regulation (EC) No 714/2009, Art 6(7)-(9):

• Provide a reasoned opinion to ENTSO-E on the compliance of the

Network Code with the Framework Guidelines.

• When the Agency is satisfied that the Network Code is in line with the

Framework Guidelines, the Agency shall submit it to the Commission and may recommend that it be adopted. Process:

• ACER collects comments from EU NRAs assessing the implications of

the Network Code at a national level. Ljubljana 19/05/2014
