The 4th Central European Gas Congress and the 43rd International Gas Conference and Exhibition is a jointly organised meeting for the gas companies, eminent decision-makers and investors, as well as engineering, development, IT, telecommunications, appliance manufacturer, contractor, servicing and construction engineering, companies and practical experts in the region. Our company has attended to the event, with a keynote: "Opportunities in Regional Cooperation with Respect to the 3rd Energy Directive of EU". The EU 715/2009 directive and 2009/73/EK guide-line stipulates free and non-discriminative access to the natural gas infrastructure systems. ENTSOG, ERGEG, EASEE-GAS and other initiatives aimed a better cooperation between European natural gas players and markets. The presentation examines the possibilities of regional cooperation in the usage of balancing markets, gas sources, capacities of TSOs and storages. The efficient information transfer is a need for strengthening the competition and market integration. How can we ensure that? What are the regulatory and practical considerations that a regionally active gas trading licensee must take into account?
