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.
