GIE voices the views of its members vis-à-vis the European institutions, regulators and other stakeholders
GIE’s mission is to actively contribute to the construction of a single, sustainable and competitive gas market in Europe underpinned by a stable and predictable regulatory framework as well as by a sound investment climate. 3

4. Gas supply situation to Europe
Main sources of gas for Europe
Russia
Norway
Netherlands (H and L)
LNG
Other indigenous production
Russia
Norway UK DE NL
LNG from all over the world RO
Algeria
Tunisia
Remark : There are other producing countries in Europe, but there contribution is small

5. New developments New developments Russia : new routes Russia
Netherlands (H and L) : declining
UK : declining
LNG : new sources + Baltic
Southern Corridor
Unconventional gas ?
Increased cross-border capacity
Russia
Norway UK DE NL
LNG from all over the world AZ RO CY
Algeria
Tunisia
Remark : There are other producing countries in Europe, but there contribution is small

6. Gas quality
Netherlands : decline of L-gas  transition to H-gas in DE, BE, FR and NL (?) and impact on storage (FR, NL)
UK, Germany : decline of H-gas  new supplies needed
Russia : new routes with similar gas quality
Southern Corridor : new sources from Caspian countries
LNG : new sources according to existing (wide) gas qualities in a global LNG market competing with US and Far East
Increased cross-border capacities – including reverse flows – to support the Internal Gas Market : progressive harmonisation expected along H-gas quality specifications
New developments in Europe : biomethane injection, H2 injection, power-to-gas… 6
