Regional Investment Plan should not take the shape of regional cut-outs of the Community wide plan and ENTSOG would therefore like to devote sufficient time to the definition of objectives to be achieved and how to make the plan compatible with the objectives and requirements of the future regulation concerning measures to safeguard security of supply”. • Objectives of the project: • Provide support to ENTSOG within the GRI NW for pilots Regional Investment Plans • March 2011: preliminary discussions with ENTSOG (after the publication of the 2nd EU-TYNDP) to define the next steps
