ENTSOG Tariff NC - Implementation Document 2nd Edition

Application of the TAR NC at non-IPs which are points with third countries At entry-points-from/exit-points-to third countries, the applicability of the TAR NC depends on the type of rule involved. Figure 4 shows the following distinction: \\ If the rules have a ‘broader scope’ as described above, then they automatically apply, since entry-points-from/exit-points-to third countries fall under ‘all entry points and all exit points of gas transmission networks’ per Article 2(1) of the TAR NC. \\ If the rules have ‘limited scope’ as described above, then they apply only if the NRA has taken a decision to apply the CAM NC at those points. No separate national decision to apply the TAR NC at those points is needed.

Green/Red points ‘broader scope’ rules apply by default; and ‘limited scope’ rules apply automatically if NRA decided to apply CAM NC at these points
