34. Notes that a stable regulatory framework – for producers, regulators, network operators, energy suppliers, demand-related service providers and, most importantly, end consumers and prosumers – is essential for a well-functioning internal market and for attracting long-term investment in infrastructure development; underlines that development of network codes encompassing sound, non-discriminatory and well-balanced rules should lead to harmonisation of grid management, market design and interoperability; emphasises that it is crucial that agreements on unbundling of transmission networks, production and delivery are respected across the EU, including agreements on the independent position ...[+++] of energy regulators and on requirements for consumer protection; stresses, therefore, the need to support and further develop the role of the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), particularly its capacity to scrutinise national regulatory decisions and settle disputes;

26. Is aware that a significant uptake of microgeneration will give rise to challenges in the management of distribution networks, linked to the matching of energy demand and supply and necessitating innovative investment in an upgraded distribution network; notes the importance of smart technologies in achieving this; calls on the Member States to facilitate access to the grid for microgenerators while addressing the issue of network costs related to small-scale energy production and maintaining efficient network management; calls on the national regulatory authorities to incentivise innovation and investment in local distribution gr ...[+++]ids;

· the creation of a mechanism for transmission system operators to improve the coordination of networks operation and grid security, cross-border trade and grid operation; and

Network management is necessary to run efficient and intelligent networks and to maximise the overall user experience and value.

A separation between the management of networks and production or sales will encourage companies to invest more in networks, thereby promoting the entry onto the market of new arrivals and increasing security of supply.

(a) the new generations of wireless and mobile communications systems and networks; satellite communications systems; all-optical technologies; integration and management of communication networks, including interoperable network solutions; capacity-enhancing technologies necessary for the development of systems, infrastructures and services, in particular for audio-visual applications.
