​Ad hoc expert group on Framework Guidelines on Interoperability Rules for European Gas Transmission Networks

The 3rd Energy Package envisages the development of European network codes in different areas. ENTSO-G will be responsible for drafting cross-border network codes based on the principles and objectives set out in the Framework Guidelines to be prepared by the European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) in consultation with network users.
