(i) от една страна, ако ENTSOG има за задача да разработи кодекси, Комисията може да се намеси при точно определени обстоятелства чрез процедурата на комитология, когато бъде счетено, че приетите от ENTSOG технически или пазарни кодекси няма да гарантират недискриминация, ефективна конкуренция и ефикасно функциониране на службата;
(i) on the one hand, if ENTSOG has the task to elaborate codes, the Commission can intervene under precise circumstances via a comitology procedure when it is deemed that technical or market codes adopted by the ENTSOG will not ensure non-discrimination, effective competition and the efficient functioning of the service;
(ii) от друга страна, Комисията може да вземе инициатива по член 9 и да приеме насоки в същата област, независимо от обстоятелствата, с цел уточняване на условията и реда относно услугите за достъп на трети страни, механизмите за разпределяне на капацитет, процедурата за управление на претоварвания и др.
(ii) on the other hand, the Commission can take the initiative under Article 9 and adopt "guidelines" in the same area, whatever the circumstances are, in order to specify details on third party access services, capacity allocation mechanisms, congestion management procedure, etc.
Като взема под внимание широкия кръг теми, по които се предвижда приемане на насоки, докладчикът предлага една ясна и строга предварителна процедура да оформя и подготвя процеса на комитология, в сътрудничество с Агенцията и с провеждане на консултации със заинтересованите страни.
Taking into account the wide range of subjects where the adoption of Guidelines is envisaged, the Rapporteur proposes that a clear and robust "ex-ante" procedure should frame and prepare the comitology process, in cooperation with the Agency and in consultation with stakeholders.
Комисията, в сътрудничество с предложената Агенция (ACER), следва да определи списъка на темите и да постави приоритети; проектонасоките следва да подлежат на обществени консултации или редовна оценка от страна на Комисията и ACER, по целесъобразност.
The Commission should define and prioritize the list of subjects in cooperation with the proposed Agency (ACER) and the draft Guidelines should be subject to public consultation or if appropriate regular assessments by the Commission and ACER.
