2 2 I. Opening Welcome. Approval of the Agenda:

3 3 I. Opening

4 4

5 5 Priorities identified within the South GRI: 1.Interconnection capacity 2.Interoperability 3.Transparency 4.Implementatin of the Directive. Market opening 5.Hubs developoment and operation II. General presentation of the South GRI. Progress in the first three priorities of the Initiative

6 6 PRIORITY 1. Interconnection capacity TSO’s coordination in order to establish the map of capacity for the next years. The results of their work will provide the Group with valuable information in order to decide on further measures (action 3) to make possible the development of new infrastructure and to maximize the use of the capacity. Action 1. Analysis of the current status of the interconnection infrastructures. (France-Spain) TSO’s Done for Spain-France Portugal-Spain? Action 2. Analysis of the future interconnection infrastructures need. (France-Spain) 2007-2010 TSO’s, with the support of SG. Done for Spain-France Portugal-Spain? 2011-2015 Spain-France: May 2007 Portugal-Spain? Action 3. Decision on further actions to make possible new infrastructure projects, further actions to manage possible congestions, taking into account the functions and powers of each regulator RCC in close coordination with IG To be determined II. General presentation of the South GRI. Progress in the first three priorities of the Initiative

7 7 PRIORITY 2. Interoperability Analysis of the possible interoperability problems, by the means of the study of practical cases of transit among the three countries France – Spain, Portugal – Spain. This should reveal the main interoperability problems that may hamper the efficient trade between countries. From the information gathered from the previous action, IG members should elaborate an action plan to solve the concrete interoperability obstacles identified. Action 4. Study of practical cases of transit, with the aim to identify possible interoperability problems. 4.1. France-Spain 4.2 Portugal-Spain SG members with support from RCC Ongoing for Spain-France (some results expected for the next SG, on May) Portugal-Spain? Action 5. Study and action plan to solve interoperability problems, taking into account the result of the previous action IG June 2007 (agreement on an action plan) II. General presentation of the South GRI. Progress in the first three priorities of the Initiative

8 8 PRIORITY 3. Transparency Taking advantage of the work undertaken by ERGEG Transparency TF and shippers point of view, regulators will identify main transparency requirements in transport, LNG and storages. Action 6. Study of the existing level of transparency and future or further capacity needs by the market RCC (with the support or IG and SG members) Ongoing. To be produced on May by Regulators Action 7. Action plan for the publication of information by TSO’s, LNG operators and storage operators IG SG meeting: June- July 2007 II. General presentation of the South GRI. Progress in the first three priorities of the Initiative

9 9 Next meeting: 3rd SG meeting 5th June 2007 Presentation by TSO’s of the final study on interconnection infrastructures between France and Spain Presentation by shippers of the study on practical cases of transit between France and Spain Presentation by regulators of the study on transparency II. General presentation of the South GRI. Progress in the first three priorities of the Initiative

10 10 To be provided by ERSE III. General presentation from ERSE. Current regulatory situation in Portugal.

11 11 8 th March 2007. Agreement at Governments level: ”Plan to reconcile the regulation on the energy sector between Portugal and Spain” MIBEL. Long past history. Last steps to organize a Iberian electricity market MIBGAS. Both Governments have decided to create several working groups in order to develop a true Iberian Gas Market and, taking into account the significant LNG capacity in the Peninsula, to create an Iberian hub at international level. Key issues: REGULATORS: CNE and ERSE to identify the principles for the MIBGAS organization TSO’s: REN and ENAGAS to design an investment plan for increasing the interconnection and storage capacity. GOVERNMENTS: To design a general agreement on gas natural reserves for security of supply reasons. IV. Next steps in order to develop a regional hub. The integration of the Iberian gas hub inside the S-GRI. Roadmap 5th Priority of the S-GRI: Development of hubs

12 12 How to go together - integrate the MIBGAS inside the South – GRI?
