To whom it may concern:

The current market test is following its natural procedural process up to ARCA signature in accordance to article 2.2 of the “Updated Guidelines for management and allocation of capacity on the IGB INTERCONNECTOR according the paragraph 6 of article 36 of Directive 2009/73/EC – PHASE I: invitation of interested parties to express their interest in reserving capacity”, as published in this web site”. ARCAs are going to be executed upon approval by the NRAs of the allocation of capacity in the ongoing market test.

ICGB is pleased to inform that it is recording along the way an increasing market interest later than the beginning of the current market test. In the spirit of art. 36, paragraph 6   of Directive  2009/73/EC where “… all potential users of the infrastructure are invited to indicate their interest in contracting capacity…” , ICGB is willing to assess a new allocation procedure for the remaining capacity not allocated during the current market test, subject to NRAs consultation and approval.  The procedure is intended to be under the same procedural ground with a suited timeframe.
