European frame for internal cooperation
• A single energy market: free entry -eligible consumers – infrastructure TPA + Unbundling – TPA Exemptions- EU Grid Codes – EU TYNDP
-------------------------------------------------------
• A single Competition Policy: exclusive competence DG –against National Regulators
• Common Trade Border: tariffs and non tariff barriers – vs - Investment projects & Supply contracts
-------------------------------------------------------
• External Relations: if countries agree one voice abroad – vs- mute if not single one
• Renewables Policy: If countries agree (Berlin 2007) One 20-20-20 in 2020 –vs If not no policy after 2020 – vs State Aid “Competition coup” EU Court & DG COMP RES guidelines
-------------------------------------------------------

• EU Renewables Policy: ? Vs ??
• EU Security of Supply Policy: ? Vs ??
• EU Ad Hoc “Energy Charter” (1998): trade, transit, investment + Conflict Resolution (50 countries incl. Russia & Turkey) Full international treaty

External cooperation & EU Security of Supply
• (EC: Trade tariffs & barriers) vs (MS: Investment Projects & Supply Contracts)
• Infrastructures TPA & Unbundling // Exemptions
• Long Term Supply Contracts & Destination Clauses // Internal Market & Competition Policy
• Mergers & Acquisitions; subsidiaries; cross-shareholding // Internal Market & Competition Policy + Energy Charter or Association Agreement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¤ >> COMMISSION has mainly VETO POWERS; limited positive powers = bargaining
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¤ SUPPLY CONTRACTS and M&As //
¤ EXTERNAL – INTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURES (Nabucco) 10bn Eur & 30bn M3
North Stream 6bn Eur & 60bn M3 (Germany – NL – Fr)
South Stream 9bn Eur & 60bn M3 (Italy – Fr)
TAP 10 to 20bn M3 (BP / Italy & Greece)

External cooperation & EU Renewables
• (EC: RES Directive) vs (MS: Investment Projects & Supply Contracts)
• RES Directive article 9: IF RES is imported and consumed inside the EU
= External (Certification; Measurement; traceability : Transport & Transit )
+ Internal (Cross-border capacity allocation; congestion mechanism; nomination & balancing)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Infrastructures TPA & Unbundling // Exemptions
• Long Term Supply Contracts & Renewables Support Schemes // Internal Market & Competition Policy
• Mergers & Acquisitions; subsidiaries; cross-shareholding // Internal Market & Competition Policy + Energy Charter or Association Agreement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¤ >> COMMISSION has mainly VETO POWERS
¤ No country implementation yet (as far as I know)
