Article 10 Monitoring and reporting
United Kingdom
On the basis of data and information forwarded and, if appropriate, of any other data sources including data purchased by the Commission, and taking into account relevant analyses such as the multi-annual network development plans for gas and for electricity, the Commission shall forward to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the European Economic and Social Committee and shall publish every two years a cross-sector analysis of the structural evolution and perspectives of the energy system of the Union. This analysis shall aim in particular at:
identifying potential future gaps between energy demand and supply that are of significance from an energy policy perspective of the Union;
identifying investment obstacles and promoting best practices to address them; and
increasing transparency for market participants and potential market entrants.
On the basis of this data and information, the Commission may also provide any specific analysis deemed necessary or appropriate.
In preparing the analyses referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission may be assisted by experts from Member States and/or any other experts, professional associations with specific competence in the area concerned.
The Commission shall provide all Member States with an opportunity to comment on the draft analyses.
The Commission shall discuss the analyses with interested parties, such as ENTSO-E, ENTSO-G, the Gas Coordination Group and the Oil Supply Group.
