European gas legislation is becoming increasingly complicated following the introduction of an energy chapter in the Lisbon Treaty, and the adoption of the third internal market package in 2009. The voluminous body of binding legislation is completed by guidelines, network codes, and interpretative documents issued by the European Commission, the Agency of Energy Regulators, and the System Operators; consensus and soft law does not only bind its authors, but often leads to future consolidation through formal legislation. The EU Gas Laws offers an up-to-date compendium of all gas legislation and soft law, including the Commission proposals for new legislation. It brings together gas specific provisions and horizontal provisions on other energy sectors, as well as; pertinent legislation concerning environment and energy efficiency; trans-European networks and infrastructures; trade policy and international organisations; market integrity and transparency; and research & development. Such a comprehensive approach reflects the increasing importance of gas, beyond its traditional role for heat and power generation: as a bridging technology in the light of more renewable forms of energy. Gas is not only an energy source, but also serves as an energy carrier, and a means for energy storage. The EU Gas Laws reproduces all pertinent provisions in a user-friendly way.
Highlights:
Unique edition compiling the sector-relevant legislation.
