10. TSOs can agree on regional solutions but final decisions
often by entities with national focus
Challenge: lack of competent regional structures and
procedures (cf. national or EU-level)
How to enhance regional decision making and implementation?
Purpose: to assess
regional tasks and,
if mutually agreed,
to commit to
promote
implementation
Need for a regional
high-level forum
bringing together
all relevant
stakeholder groups
Cf. Florence
Forum,
Pentalateral Forum

Increased business
opportunities
for established and
new players
