the issues at stake. Infrastructures are key priority of the new Commission:

infrastructure package under preparation;

. Key projects to be accelerated: BEMIP, Southern Gas Corridor,incl. Nabucco, LNG terminals, intra-EU interconnections andreverse flow projects of the recovery plan;

.External dimension of energy policy to be implemented: EUframework to be established for bilateral agreements

.Bottom-up approach to develop Preventive ActionPlans and Emergency Plans by MS (individually orregionally) based on risk assessment

.reven ve c on an mergency ans, nvo v ng aplayers, to be steered and drawn up by a single

.Plans assessment at EU level and furthercoordination at Regional level

Main elements in the proposal

.Common standards for security of supply,encompass ng n ras ruc ures n- , reverse owsand supply of gas (to protected customers)

.Flexibility in meeting standards (subsidiarity) demand response, regional approach, exemptions

.Increased transparency a requirement for rapid
