This Regulation establishes provisions aimed at safeguarding the security of gas supply by ensuring the proper and continuous functioning of the internal market in natural gas (gas), by allowing for exceptional measures to be implemented when the market can no longer deliver the required gas supplies and by providing for a clear definition and attribution of responsibilities among natural gas undertakings, the Member States and the Union regarding both preventive action and the reaction to concrete disruptions of supply.

It is essential in the interests of a well-functioning gas market that the necessary investments in indigenous production and infrastructures, such as interconnections, in particular those providing access to the gas network of the Union, equipment allowing physical bi-directional gas flows on pipelines as well as storage and LNG re-gasification facilities, be made by natural gas undertakings in good time, bearing in mind possible supply disruptions such as the one that occurred in January 2009. When forecasting the financial needs for gas infrastructure in relation to Union instruments, the Commission should give, as appropriate, priority to the infrastructure projects which support the integration of the internal gas market and se ...[+++]curity of gas supply.

Since gas supplies from third countries are central to the security of gas supply of the Union, the Commission should coordinate the actions with regard to third countries, working with the supplying and transiting third countries on arrangements to handle crisis situations and to ensure a stable gas flow to the Union.

The Commission's market investigation focused on the market for supply of gas to large and commercial customers and the supply of interruptible gas, i.e. gas supplied to large customers who unlike customers of the other markets, are prepared to incur interruptions to their supply in return for lower prices.

When they formulate this general policy on security of supply, the Member States will pay the greatest possible attention to the importance of ensuring continuity of gas supplies in difficult circumstances, especially to consumers who have no alternative energy source, and the need to ensure adequate stocks of gas or alternative fuels, to diversify supplies and to establish a balance between the various sources of gas supplies.
