WP 2015-2016
The WP was submitted to public consultation on the ACER website from
3 to 24 October 2014
11 responses received:
 3 TSOs: ENAGAS, TIGF, GRTGaz
 4 shippers: EDP, GNF, GDFSuez, UFG (confidential)
 4 associations: AGN, EDP, EFET, UPRIGAZ
General comments:
 All stk welcome the WP and emphasize the importance of
harmonising and making compatible rules in the three countries to
facilitate cross-border flows and gas markets regional
integration towards the internal energy market.
 A coordinated early implementation of network codes as a
permanent objective. Adapting national rules in time,
transparency, coordination and close collaboration.
 They insist on more active participation of NRAs and TSOs in
the Iberian gas market creation, as a first step to enable gas
flows between the Iberian Peninsula and France.

WP 2015-2016
Significant suggestions that amended the WP:
 1 TSO suggested postpone deadline for the implementation of
incremental capacity until Q1 2016
 3 TSOs and 1 shipper suggested that the implementation of ST
UIOLI mechanism requires a detailed analysis to decide if all
conditions for its implementation are fulfilled in the region.
 One shipper and one association suggested the adoption of a
common roadmap with clear commitments for Iberian hub
development taking into consideration the comments received to the
Public consultation of the “Study about models for integration of the
Spanish and Portuguese gas markets in a common Iberian natural gas
market”.
 Six respondents (4 shippers, 1 association and 1 TSO) proposed that
the harmonisation of the reference temperature needs to be
further analysed. They support the provision established in article 14
of the draft Interoperability and Data Exchange Network code which
specifies that alternative reference temperatures can be used if
conversion factors are provided and used accordingly.

The public consultation on Iberian Natural Gas Market was carried out
through a dedicated questionnaire on the Spanish and Portuguese Energy
Regulators website. The deadline for responses was 15th September
2014.
Stakeholders are asked to have in mind the need for short term concrete
positive developments in the market integration of the wholesale gas
markets of Portugal and Spain and the longer term, and also the necessary
steps to reach those goals, taking into account the current regulatory
framework in both countries.
As a result of the public consultation we received 23 responses.
Analysis of the feedback received by stakeholders in the public hearing
and Final document to be approved by CNMC- ERSE (2015-Q1)

In September 2014, GTS (the Technical System Manager, the agent in
charge of the balancing) –following article 52 - sent a justified request to the
CNMC asking for an extension of the period to implement the code – by 1
October 2016.
In October 2014, CNMC accepted the request. The answer was also sent to
European Commission and ACER.
CNMC is currently preparing the legal act “Circular” to regulate the gas
