A transmission system operator may select one or several of the following parties to receive information on gas quality variation:\n(a) final customers directly connected to the transmission system operator's network, whose operational processes are adversely affected by gas quality changes or a network user acting on behalf of a final customer whose operational processes are adversely affected by gas quality changes, where a direct contractual arrangement between a transmission system operator and its directly connected final customers is not foreseen by the national rules;\n(b) distribution system operators directly connected to the transmission system operator's network, with connected final customers whose operational processes are adversely affected by gas quality changes;\n(c) storage system operators directly connected to the transmission system operator's network, whose operational processes are adversely affected by gas quality changes.\n3. Each transmission system operator shall:\n(a) define and maintain a list of parties entitled to receive indicative gas quality information;\n(b) cooperate with the parties identified in the above list in order to assess:\n(i)the relevant information on gas quality parameters to be provided;\n(ii)the frequency for the information to be provided;\n(iii)the lead time;\n(iv)the method of communication.\n4. Paragraph 3 shall not impose an obligation on transmission system operators to install additional measurement or forecasting equipment, unless otherwise required by the national regulatory authority.
