Region in the Spotlight - North West gas region's advice on how to enhance a regional investment climate |
In 2009, using a virtual case study, the GRI North-West gained valuable insight into the northwestern European investment climate for cross-border infrastructure. The virtual case study involved analysing the (hypothetical) economic feasibility of the construction of a specific pipeline. Based on the case study’s findings, which have been recorded in the journal of findings, the GRI formulated its policy advice. The GRI NW has subsequently drawn up recommendations on how to address the (7) burdens encountered in (actual) current regional investment processes. The most important areas for improvement are coordination, compensation methods, and transparency regarding investment processes. The RCC, comprising the nine regulators of this region, approved this advice on 2 February 2010. Other stakeholders endorsed these recommendations as well. |
