14. 14 II. Open Season Procedures II. Open Season Procedures II.2 Investment decision-making regarding 2013 OS CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS Capacity assigned in case of not building Irún Capacity assigned with only Larrau Capacity not assigned due to lack of invetsments in Biriatou

15. 15 II. Open Season Procedures II. Open Season Procedures II.2 Investment decision-making regarding 2013 OS CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS THE NEED FOR DEVELOPING IRUN INTERCONNECTION POINT : Current capacity requested at S-F interconnection point would allocate 100% of capacity offered from Spain to France and 60% of capacity offered from France to Spain: High contracting level expected Capacity requested from Spain to France at the border is 200% above capacity offered at this point (Larrau+Irún): important market’s interest Not building Irún means reducing capacity offered, and then allocated, at S-F border. Moreover, since most of shippers requested coordinated capacity along corridors, reducing capacity offered at one point reduces capacity allocated in the rest of aligned points

16. 16 II. Open Season Procedures II. Open Season Procedures II.2 Investment decision-making regarding 2013 OS CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS THE NEED FOR DEVELOPING IRUN INTERCONNECTION POINT : Less allocated capacity means less use of infrastructures along the corridor, which may jeopardize investment cost recovery In general in Europe capacity booked at 100% in one flow sense justifies investments Capacity reserved for short term contracts will also produce incomes Both projects are highly relevant from an strategic point of view and for security of supply Building Larrau and Bitiatou means shippers will received 50% of the capacity they requested. If Biriatou is not built, this figure is reduced to 30%, which will seriously affect their business plans, introducing uncertainties and reducing process credibility.
