Article 10
1. For the purpose of procurement of short term standardised products, the transmission system operator shall trade on a trading platform that meets all of the following criteria: (a) provides sufficient support throughout the gas day to both the network users to trade in and the transmission system operators to undertake appropriate balancing actions through trade in the relevant short term standardised products; (b) provides transparent and non-discriminatory access; (c) provides services on an equal treatment basis; (d) ensures anonymous trading at least until a transaction is concluded; (e) provides a detailed overview of the current bids and offers to all trading participants; (f) ensures that all trades are duly notified to the transmission system operator. 2. The transmission system operator shall endeavour to ensure that the criteria set out in paragraph 1 are met on at least one trading platform. Where the transmission system operator has been unable to ensure that these criteria are met on at least one trading platform it shall take the necessary measures towards the establishment of a balancing platform or a joint balancing platform as set out in Article 47. 3. After each trade is concluded, the trading platform operator shall make available to the trading participants sufficient details to confirm the trade. 4. The trading participant shall be responsible for submitting trade notification to the transmission system operator as defined in Article 5 unless the responsibility is assigned to the trading platform operator or a third party in accordance with the applicable rules of the trading platform. 5. The trading platform operator shall: (a) publish the evolution of the marginal buy price and the marginal sell price after each trade without undue delay; or (b) provide the transmission system operator with the information where the transmission system operator elects to publish the evolution of the marginal buy price and the marginal sell price. The transmission system operator shall publish this information without undue delay. Where there is more than one trading platform operator in the same balancing zone point (b) shall apply. 6. The trading platform operator shall only allow network users to trade on its trading platform if they are entitled to make trade notifications. 7. The transmission system operator shall without undue delay inform the trading platform operator of network user’s losing the right to make trade notifications pursuant to the applicable contractual arrangement in force which shall result in the suspension of the network user’s right to trade on the trading platform, without prejudice to the other remedies that could be available in such case to the trading platform operator under the applicable rules of the trading platform.
