The Commission considers that the commitments offered by Distrigas following the preliminary assessments and the observations submitted by interested third parties are sufficient to address the identified competition concerns. First, on average a minimum of 70 % of the gas volumes supplied by Distrigas and connected undertakings to industrial users and electricity producers in Belgium will return to the market each year. If Distrigas' total sales decrease from their 2007 level, then Distrigas will be able to tie a certain fixed volume of gas sales, which represents less than 20 % of the total market concerned. Secondly, contracts with industrial users and electricity producers cannot be longer than five years, however contracts relating to new power plants with a capacity exceeding 10 MW are not subject to the commitments. Thirdly, Distrigas undertakes not to conclude any gas supply agreements with resellers with a duration of over two years. Fourthly, Distrigas confirms that it will not introduce use restrictions into its supply contracts.
