According to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No. 713/2009 establishing an Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, "in carrying out its tasks, in particular in the process of developing framework guidelines (...), the Agency shall consult extensively and at an early stage with market participants, transmission system operators, consumers, end-users and, where relevant, competition authorities, without prejudice to their respective competence, in an open and transparent manner, in particular when its tasks concern transmission system operators".
 
The aim of the current consultation is to define with involvement of the stakeholders the scope of the future Framework Guideline appropriately. Responses should be sent by email to consultation2012G06@acer.europa.eu until 9 March 2012 extended to 26 March 2012 - 12:00 noon, Ljubljana Time, at the latest.
 
In order to benefit from the public consultation in the best way possible, ACER encourages stakeholders to provide constructive and comprehensive answers to each question. In particular, ACER promotes that large companies coordinate their answers internally, so that the submission received by ACER gives a clear message about the policy option the stakeholders wish to represent.
In order to identify your response, please include on the top of your answer sheet the following contact information:
 
Name  
Company  
Address  
Contact email

Following the public consultation period, ACER will publish all answers received from stakeholders.  Stakeholders shall also consider that confidential answers could be used in a limited way. ACER therefore advises stakeholders to claim confidentiality only on commercially sensitive information and if so, to ensure that a non-confidential version is submitted to ACER.
