4個(gè)歐盟國家天然氣市場首次跨境合并

據(jù)俄羅斯油氣網(wǎng)4月21日布魯塞爾報(bào)道，4月20日，來自愛沙尼亞、芬蘭、拉脫維亞和立陶宛的能源部門、監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)和傳輸系統(tǒng)運(yùn)營商就一份旨在建立未來區(qū)域天然氣市場一體化的路線圖達(dá)成了一致意見。

這個(gè)共同區(qū)域天然氣市場將是歐盟第一個(gè)4國范圍內(nèi)的跨境天然氣市場合并，它將使這個(gè)嚴(yán)重依賴進(jìn)口天然氣區(qū)域中供應(yīng)安全得到加強(qiáng)，并增加市場流動(dòng)性和促進(jìn)競爭，使這4個(gè)歐盟國家的所有消費(fèi)者都能負(fù)擔(dān)得起天然氣價(jià)格和高質(zhì)量的服務(wù)。

市場一體化對(duì)波羅的海國家和芬蘭來說是一個(gè)明顯的獲益機(jī)會(huì)，可以讓他們從現(xiàn)有和未來的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施（如天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施、液化天然氣終端、波羅的海連接管道和波蘭-立陶宛天然氣互連管道）中獲益。跨境合并將消除歐盟4個(gè)相對(duì)較小和獨(dú)立的國家天然氣市場之間的許多冗余部門，從而吸引供應(yīng)商并顯著增加競爭力。

2015年12月，波羅的海地區(qū)各國政府總理簽署了《區(qū)域天然氣市場發(fā)展行動(dòng)計(jì)劃》，并邀請(qǐng)芬蘭參與其中，區(qū)域天然氣市場一體化進(jìn)程由此成為政治進(jìn)程。

這個(gè)行動(dòng)計(jì)劃的目標(biāo)是在愛沙尼亞、芬蘭、拉脫維亞和立陶宛之間建立一個(gè)合并的區(qū)域天然氣市場，包括所有4個(gè)成員國，目標(biāo)是改善市場流動(dòng)性、一體化和增強(qiáng)競爭，確?？沙惺艿奶烊粴鈨r(jià)格和高質(zhì)量的服務(wù)，從而吸引現(xiàn)有和新的市場參與者。

Baltic regional gas market roadmap will mark 1st cross-border merger between 4 EU countries

Energy ministries, regulators and transmission system operators from Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania have on April 20 given their agreement to a roadmap establishing a process for the future regional gas market integration of their respective countries.

This common regional gas market will be the first 4-country wide cross-border gas market merger in the EU. It will reinforce the security of supply in this region strongly dependent on imported gas, increase market liquidity and foster competition, resulting in affordable gas prices and high quality service for all consumers in these countries.

Market integration is a clear opportunity for the Baltic States and Finland to reap all the benefits of their existing and future infrastructure such as gas storage facilities, LNG terminals, the Balticconnector and the Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL). It will remove many of the remaining divisions between four relatively small and separate national markets - attracting suppliers and significantly increasing competition.

The Regional Gas Market integration process started as a political process in December 2015 when the Baltic States’ Prime Ministers endorsed, the Regional Gas Market Development Action Plan and invited Finland to take part in this process.

The objective is to establish a merged, regional gas market in Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania, encompassing all 4 Member States, with the objective to improve market liquidity, integration and competition, ensuring affordable gas prices and high quality service - thus being attractive for existing and new market participants.
