Use of the single reporting service in case of PCI reporting by project promoters

Pursuant to Article 5(4) of Regulation (EU) No 347/2013, project promoters of PCIs shall submit by 31 March of each year following the inclusion of a PCI in the Union list an annual report to the relevant national Competent Authorities and to the Agency. In order to minimise the reporting burden, the Agency and the Competent Authorities have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on PCI information exchange (“MoU”). The MoU allows promoters to submit the annual report via a single reporting service (“window”) to the Agency, which will then transmit the report to the relevant national Competent Authorities who are signatories to the MoU. Project promoters already expressed their intention during the nomination of contact points whether they wish to use the single reporting service. The Agency shall transfer the PCI reports only to those Competent Authorities which project promoters have indicated earlier.

Use of the single reporting service for the collection of LNG market data on transactions

According to Article 18 of the proposal for a Regulation enhancing solidarity through better coordination of gas purchases of gas across borders and reliable price benchmarks (the proposed Regulation), ACER shall systematically collect and process LNG market data for the purpose of producing and publishing the LNG price assessment. LNG market participants shall submit the required LNG market data to ACER according to the provisions of Article 20 of the same, through AEGIS.
