New rules for transit of natural gas through Belgium

The Commission for economical affairs of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives has adopted rules regarding transit of natural gas in Belgium.

Following the infringement procedure initiated by the European Commission, the new text makes no longer any tarifary distinction between internal transport and border to border transport.

With regard to the historical contracts, the new act abolishes the interpretation given by the act of 10 March 2009 but, correctly, safeguards the protection of historical transit contracts until the final implementation date of Directive 2009/73/EG, 3 March 2011.
