ANNEX XXVI

to CHAPTER 1: ENERGY COOPERATION, INCLUDING NUCLEAR ISSUES

of TITLE V: ECONOMIC AND SECTOR COOPERATION

1. The EU and Ukraine establish herewith an ‘Early Warning Mechanism’ with the objective of setting out practical measures aimed at preventing and rapidly reacting to an emergency situation or to a threat of an emergency situation. It foresees an early evaluation of potential risks and problems related to the supply and demand of natural gas, oil or electricity and the prevention and rapid reaction in case of an emergency situation or a threat of an emergency situation.

2. For the purpose of this Annex, an emergency situation is a situation causing a significant disruption / physical interruption of supply of natural gas, oil or electricity between Ukraine and the European Union.

3. For the purpose of this Annex the Coordinators are the Minister of Energy of Ukraine and the Member of the European Commission in charge of Energy.

4. An early evaluation of potential risks and problems related to the supply and demand of energy materials and products should be undertaken jointly by the two Parties in particular in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of energy between the European Union and Ukraine of 1st December 2005 and should be regularly reported to the Coordinators.

5. Should one of the Parties to this Agreement become aware of an emergency situation or of a situation which in its opinion could lead to an emergency situation, that Party shall inform the other Party without delay.

6. Under the circumstances set out in paragraph 5 of this Annex, the Coordinators shall notify each other, within the shortest possible time, of the necessity to initiate the Early Warning Mechanism. The notification shall indicate, inter alia, designated persons that are authorised by the Coordinators to maintain permanent contact with each other.

7. Upon notification in accordance with paragraph 6 of this Annex, each Party shall provide the other Party with its own assessment. Such an assessment will include an estimate of the timeframe within which the threat of an emergency situation or the emergency situation could be eliminated. Both Parties shall react promptly to the assessment provided by the other Party and complement it with available additional information.

8. If one Party is unable to adequately assess or accept the other Party’s assessment of the situation or the estimated timeframe within which a threat of an emergency situation or an emergency situation may be eliminated, the corresponding Coordinator can request consultations, which are to commence within a time period not exceeding 3 days from the moment of forwarding the notification foreseen in paragraph 6 of this Annex. Such consultations shall take place through an Experts Group consisting of representatives authorised by the Coordinators. The consultations aim at:

– elaborating a common evaluation of the situation and of the possible further development of events;

– elaborating recommendations to eliminate the threat of an emergency situation or to overcome the emergency situation;

– elaborating recommendations on a joint action plan of the Parties in order to minimise the impact of an emergency situation and, if possible, to overcome the emergency situation, including the possibility of establishing a Special Monitoring Group.

9. The consultations, common evaluations and proposed recommendations shall be based on the principles of transparency, non-discrimination and proportionality.

10. The Coordinators, within their competencies, will work to eliminate the threat of an emergency situation or to overcome the emergency situation taking into account the recommendations that have been elaborated as the result of the consultations.

11. The Experts Group referred to in paragraph 8 will report to the Coordinators on its activities, promptly after the implementation of any agreed plan of action.

12. If an emergency situation occurs, the Coordinators may establish a Special Monitoring Group for examining the ongoing circumstances and development of events and for an objective record of them. The Group shall consist of:

– representatives of both Parties;

– representatives of energy companies of the Parties;

– representatives of international energy organisations, proposed and mutually approved by the Parties;

– independent experts proposed and mutually approved by the Parties.

13. The Special Monitoring Group shall start its work without delay and shall operate, as necessary, until the emergency situation has been solved. A decision on the termination of the work of the Special Monitoring Group shall be taken jointly by the Coordinators.

14. From the moment of discovering the circumstances described in paragraph 5, and until the completion of the procedure for applying the Early Warning Mechanism, as well as until the elimination of the threat of an emergency situation or the resolution of the emergency situation, the Parties will do their utmost to minimise negative consequences for the other Party. Both Parties will cooperate with the aim to reach an immediate solution in a spirit of transparency. The Parties will refrain from any actions unrelated to the ongoing emergency situation that could create or deepen the negative consequences for the supply of natural gas, oil or electricity between Ukraine and the European Union.

15. Each Party independently carries the costs relating to the actions in the framework of this Annex.

16. The Parties shall maintain in confidence all information exchanged between them that is designated as being of a confidential nature. The Parties shall take the necessary measures to protect confidential information on the basis of the relevant legal and normative acts of Ukraine, or the European Union and/ or its Member States, as applicable, as well as in accordance with applicable international agreements and conventions.

17. The Parties may invite, by mutual agreement, representatives of third parties to take part in the consultations or monitoring referred to in paragraphs 8 and 12.

18. The Parties may agree to adapt the provisions of this Annex in view of establishing an early warning mechanism between them and other parties.

19. A violation of this mechanism cannot serve as a basis for dispute settlement procedures under this Agreement. Moreover, a Party shall not rely on or introduce as evidence in such dispute settlement procedures:

– positions taken or proposals made by the other Party in the course of the procedure; or,

– the fact that the other Party has indicated its willingness to accept a solution to the emergency situation subject to this mechanism.
