30 the system, that connects 30 Change of Seller 1.In order to develop competition on the internal gas market, large customers that are not households should have the opportunity to select their providers, as well as sign contracts with several suppliers in order to secure their demand for gas. Such customers should be protected against non-competition clauses that are designed to eliminate competition or alternative offers. (Directive 2009/73 point 17 Preamble) 2.(…) Member States shall ensure that the eligible customer is in fact able easily to switch to a new supplier. (Directive 2009/73 Art. 3 item 3) 3.Member States shall ensure that where a customer, while respecting the contractual conditions, wishes to change supplier, the change is effected by the operator(s) concerned within three weeks. (Directive 2009/73 Art. 3 item 6)
