CREG's position on Transit of natural gas

The CREG issued its decision imposing provisional tariffs for the transport, storage and transit activities of Fluxys. It is the first time the CREG decides upon tariffs for transit activities. These activities are being operated by Fluxys for the account of Distrigas & Co.

In its decision, the CREG states that only four transit contracts fall under the scope of article 32.1 of the Second Gas Directive, that sets out that transit contracts which are concluded pursuant to article 3 of the Directive 91/296/EEC remain valid and implemented in accordance with the provisions of said Directive. These contracts are:
- The Contract between Distrigaz NV and WINGAS of 27 November 1996 related to the transit from Zeebrugge to Eynatten;
- The Contract between Distrigaz NV and Ruhrgas of 13 December 1996 related to the transit from Zeebrugge to Eynatten;
- The Contract between Distrigaz NV and Gaz de France of 30 June 1998 related to the transit from Zeebrugge to Blaregnies;
- The Contract between Distrigaz NV and Gaz de France of 27 April 1967 related to the transit from Poppel to Blaregnies.
