Drafting of pre-comitology document

• What is the main objective or result that you like to achieve during the meeting

• At what level and (technical) detail should information be presented and by who

• What specific questions should be addressed

Member states input has been key driver in drafting process

Based on member states meeting of 6th of May…..

…NMa has written down first ideas

… and input of several member states…

First reaction of member states

We fully supports the view set out and the processes proposed in the document

I am very grateful that you take the time to consult governments like this We consider the processes are vital

to gain a good understanding of the high level principles and issues in advance of key decisions

Member states are positive towards initial ideas

It is indeed important that the ratio behind the perspective proposals is known to governments. Duplicate work should be avoided

Possible process for pre-comitology meetings

CAM

Tarification

SoS

CMP

Etc.

The 3-year work plan should

set the agenda for the

pre-comitology meetings

Member states would like to

see a number of essential

questions adressed

Both TSO’s and regulators

should adress questions at

strategic level to governments

- Impact on issues such as: SoS,consumer prices

- Impact on current arrangements (what change is needed)

- Understand specifities of North West region

Member states seek pre-comitology meetings early in process

Timing for first pre-comitology meeting

• Framework Guideline for CAM has been finished, CMP is under construction

• Balancing is in the making process, drafting of Tarification will start shortly

• ENTSO-G will draft network codes on CAM and balancing second half of 2010

• The Framework Guideline on CMP will likely be first for comitology

Pre-comitology meeting preparations should

start on the short term

Questions for RCC

1. To what extent does RCC agree with the proposed process?

2. How should preparation of pre-comitology meetings be organized?

- Formation of Task Force with experts of both NRA’s and TSO’s?

- One regulator in the lead per comitology procedure?
