It should be borne in mind that for the reporting of transportation contracts, the Agency had to rely on existing industry schemas which were originally defined for different purposes and therefore have to be understood in a way that they comply with the REMIT transaction reporting regime. For its original purpose, the field and its values assume that the sender is normally a TSO or another market participant.

However, for the purpose of reporting under REMIT, the sender may not only be a self-reporting market participant, but also a third-party RRM. When the reporting entity is a third-party RRM, the third-party RRM has certain responsibilities for the document content as they have to validate the data they receive from market participants, ensure completeness, accuracy and timely submission of the data according to Article 11(2) of REMIT Implementing Regulation and, if necessary, correct and resubmit the rejected data in line with Article 11(2) of REMIT Implementing Regulation. This is why the sender identification has to identify the third-party RRM in cases where a third-party RRM reports.
