Under the 2003 Electricity and Natural Gas Directives, National Energy Regulatory Authorities must publish an annual report on the outcome of their monitoring activities related to the functioning of electricity and natural gas markets.
By 1 January 2006, the European Commission must submit to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report concerning the application of the above mentioned Directives, outlining progress in creating the internal electricity and gas markets.
In order to ensure appropriate coherence and consistency among these different reports, the European Commission invited the ERGEG to agree on a common structure for the national reports, to coordinate the preparation of the national reports and to cooperate in the analysis of the individual reports in order to enable an overall assessment of the functioning of the internal energy market.
