We would like to inform you about the following development on the Greek power market:

We would like to inform you about the following development on the Greek market:

Please be informed that the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (“HEPURA“) calls for a data request pursuant to Art. 14 (6) of the SoS Regulation. Accordingly, Gas traders shall report their cross-border gas supply contracts equivalent to or exceeding 28 % or more of their yearly gas consumption in Hungary and a duration of more than one year. (For ease of reference, the HEPURA has provided the 28% of the yearly gas consumption: 2,633,771,100 m³ (15 °C) or 28 058 565,3 MWh (GCV)).

In case your company has reached the above-mentioned threshold and has concluded a new contract or amended an existing one since the latest submission in Autumn 2022, please complete the attached spreadsheet. The report shall be submitted electronically through the Hungarian company gateway system, and sent to the following e-mail address: foldgazfelugyelet@mekh.hu.

In case your company did not reach the threshold, you do not need to complete the spreadsheet, however, even in this case the company shall notify the HEPURA of this fact by sending an e-mail to foldgazfelugyelet@mekh.hu with a subject: “Nullás adatszolgáltatás – gázellátási szerződések SHORT FORM OF LICENSEE’S NAME“.

The deadline for the submission of the report is 5 September 2023.

If you have any questions on this reporting obligation, please reach out to us at: info@correggionet.eu 

CorreggioNET would like to inform you that the Government of Ukraine adopted amendments to the List of Goods Prohibited for Import in the Customs Territory of Ukraine from the Russian Federation. The relevant Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (No 577 dated 6 June 2023) was published and became effective on 9 June 2023.

The Resolution provides that the shippers will no longer be required to submit certificates of origin for the following operations:

• Transportation (by pipelines) of the natural gas into the customs territory of Ukraine under transit or customs warehouse regimes;
• Transportation of the natural gas (including previous periods) into the customs territory of Ukraine via cross-border entry points from EU member states and/or the Republic of Moldova; and
• Transportation of the natural gas (including previous periods) into the customs territory of Ukraine under backhaul regime (i.e. replacement operations)

For more information, please reach out to us or consult our website:

On 9 May 2023 the Ukrainian Government included natural gas in the list of Russian goods prohibited for import in Ukraine by Resolution No. 459 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On adoption of the amendments to the list of the Russia-origin goods prohibited for importation into the customs area of Ukraine“.

Since 2015 this regulatory mechanism prevents the goods of Russian origin (as per the list) from entering the Ukrainian customs territory. Now the list also includes inter alia “crude oil, petroleum products, petroleum gases and other hydrocarbons”. It means that in case of import and for the purpose of customs clearance the Ukrainian customs authorities will have to ask for certificates of origin for the listed goods (including natural gas) in order to make sure that the goods are of non-Russian origin. 

These amendments are expected to come into effect on 21 May 2023 and remain effective until 31 December 2023 at least.

According to oral explanations received from the Ukrainian customs authorities:

• No certificates of origin shall be required for the natural gas transit (as the Resolution shall not apply to the goods under “transit” regime);
• No certificates of origin shall be required for the natural gas transported to/kept in/re-exported from the customs warehouse storage (CWS) in Ukraine; and
• Certificates of origin shall be required only for import of gas in the customs territory of Ukraine (including import from CWS and at the cross-border points).

Note that sale and purchase transactions in CWS may be well performed without the certificates of origin, however the buyer may wish to request such certificates from the sellers (especially if they intend to import gas in Ukraine for further supply to UA customers or for UA VTP sale). It is expected that such certificates should be issued by the competent authorities (in EU or abroad) to certify that the gas is of non-Russian origin. It is unclear how to obtain such certificates in EU. The effect of not having such certificate is that importers will not be able to import the gas in Ukraine (for sale in the UA territory), as the customs authorities will not complete the clearance of gas without this certificate.
