Response to Commission Regulation on inside information platforms and registered reporting mechanisms under REMIT

16 Sept 2025

Proxigas welcome the opportunity to provide feedback on the Draft Commission Delegated Regulation supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 (REMIT). Our key observations and recommendations are as follows: Scope of application: Articles 4(2) and 16 should apply exclusively to commercial IIPs/RRMs, as conflicts of interest and risks of discrimination are not relevant to entities operating solely within their corporate group. Timelines and implementation: We strongly support the official deadline for ACER to publish documentation (Article 9) and recommend similar deadlines for commercial IIPs/RRMs to communicate updated technical specifications to clients. For the new UMM reporting requirements (Table 6), a minimum of 12 months from entry into force is essential to ensure proper adaptation, testing, and operationalization by all stakeholders. Exposure reporting: Activities should be explicitly included in the definition of data record (Article 2(5)). Communication with clients: Article 18(1) should ensure direct communication with IIP clients, in addition to website publication. Back-up Platform: The mandatory obligation for MPs to publish on their own website during IIP downtime should be reconsidered. MPs must be free to choose the appropriate channel. Allowing parallel continuous publication (IIP + company website) would help prevent fragmentation of information. Annex II Other market information: If it is not foreseen a specific reporting Table, Table 6 should be structured to permit publication of other market information (e.g. intermediate steps, commercial details) without the full set of mandatory details required for gas or power UMMs. A more detailed feedback is available in the document attached elaborated by Proxigas and EF.

Response to Revision of the REMIT Implementing Regulation on data reporting

16 Sept 2025

Proxigas welcome the opportunity to provide feedback on the Draft Implementing Regulation revising REMIT data reporting rules. Our key recommendations are as follows: Simplification: Administrative burdens on MPs should be further reduced, in line with EU competitiveness objectives. Exposure Reporting: Requirements are disproportionate. We recommend raising the threshold to 5 TWh/year (or applying the 600 GWh/year threshold on a net basis), shortening the horizon to 18 months, limiting reporting to one quarterly submission per MP, and ensuring at least 12 months for implementation after ACER publishes technical specifications. Algorithmic Trading: Replace the complex Algorithm ID field with a simple Algo flag, with detailed information required only upon request. Technical Specifications: Binding deadlines for ACER guidance are essential, with sufficient lead time for market participants to adapt. Clarity & Consistency: Address overlaps and ambiguities, harmonize definitions (e.g. balancing services), and simplify reporting tables by removing redundant fields. A more detailed feedback is available in the document attached elaborated by Proxigas and EF.

Response to Revision of the CO2 emission standards for cars and vans

8 Nov 2021

Proposta di Regolamento sugli standard di emissione di CO2 di auto e furgoni Anigas ha accolto con favore le proposte del pacchetto Fit for 55, esprimendo piena condivisione rispetto agli sfidanti obiettivi climatici e confermando la volontà del settore gas di dare il proprio contributo al percorso di decarbonizzazione. Nell’ambito di tale percorso, il settore dei trasporti presenta target sfidanti e impegnativi che richiedono il contributo di tutte le soluzioni in grado di portare esternalità ambientali positive. Per questo motivo si ritiene che la proposta di revisione del regolamento sulle emissioni di CO2 debba avere un approccio tecnologicamente neutrale ponendo le basi affinché il settore automotive nel suo complesso possa evolvere e offrire diverse soluzioni per centrare il target della neutralità climatica al 2050. La previsione di standard di CO2 incentrati sulle emissioni allo scarico non lascia invece emergere l’impronta ambientale delle diverse tecnologie e non permette ai combustibili rinnovabili a zero/basse emissioni di carbonio di contribuire al percorso di decarbonizzazione con un ruolo complementare all’elettrificazione della mobilità. Si ritiene quindi importante prevedere un approccio che tenga conto delle emissioni non solo allo scarico ma dell’intero ciclo di vita e introdurre meccanismi che consentano di valorizzare i gas rinnovabili e low carbon. In particolare, si ritiene opportuno prevedere l’introduzione di un Voluntary Crediting Mechanism che consenta di riconoscere e includere la dimensione dei carburanti rinnovabili nella revisione del regolamento sugli standard di emissione di CO2 per i veicoli. È importante che il regolamento ponga le condizioni per una transizione energetica equa, economicamente sostenibile e socialmente accessibile che al tempo stesso sia in grado di minimizzare l’impatto ambientale, garantire la competitività delle filiere industriali coinvolte, promuovere un utilizzo efficiente del patrimonio infrastrutturale esistente e coinvolgere il consumatore finale, offrendo soluzioni compatibili con le diverse capacità di spesa.
