The Commission opens a formal enquiry into restrictions to air services to Sardinia
The Commission has decided to open a formal investigation into
the rules imposed by Italy on 2 May 2006 on 16 air routes
between three Sardinian airports and important airports on
the Italian mainland. The Commission has serious doubts as
to the conformity of the Italian public service obligations
with the aviation market rules and considers that they may
close the market to Sardinia. Italy has to react within two
months upon receiving the Commission’s notice.

Commissioner Piebalgs welcomes the adoption of new
guidelines for the Trans-European Energy Networks
Energy
Commissioner Andris Piebalgs, welcomed on the 24th of
July the Council decision to adopt the Commission’s
proposal for a revision of the Trans-European Energy Network
(TEN-E) Guidelines. The European Parliament already endorsed
these Guidelines on 4 April. “The guidelines identify a
European-wide electricity and gas transmission network,
which is indispensable for the correct functioning of the
internal energy market and to improve security of supply.
The new rules will make authorisation procedures easier and
attract the necessary investment for cross-border projects
of high European interest”, said Commissioner Piebalgs.

TEN-E Guidelines specify a European-wide energy transmission network
The TEN-E guidelines are an important policy instrument for
establishing the effective operation of the internal energy
market and reinforcing the security of energy supply by
better linking the national markets and by strengthening
relations with third countries in the energy sector.
Increasingly interlinked regional and national markets give
customers the benefit of better service quality, a wider
choice of energy mix and competitive prices. The 2006
guidelines clearly reflect the three main objectives of
Europe’s energy policy, namely sustainability,
competitiveness and security of supply.
