ACER published its Opinion on the ‘Manual of Procedures for the ENTSO-E Central Information Transparency Platform’
On 18 December 2013 ACER published its Opinion on the ‘Manual of Procedures for the ENTSO-E Central Information Transparency Platform’ pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 543/2013 of 14 June 2013 on submission and publication of data in electricity markets and amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
In this Opinion ACER acknowledges that ENTSO-E’s draft Manual of Procedures contributes to the objectives of Regulation (EU) No 543/2013 and in principle addresses appropriately the criteria set by Article 5 of this Regulation.
The Agency also identifies several aspects still to be taken into account by ENTSO-E when finalising the Manual of Procedures. ACER points out that the Central Information Transparency Platform will publish information which is also relevant for Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 (‘REMIT’). In this context inside information as outlined in the 3rd edition of the ACER Guidance on the application of REMIT should be considered.
Information is to be added to the draft Manual of Procedures following the completion of the web form design. ACER stresses its expectation of being updated on this completion and reserves itself the right to reassess the Manual.
