Possible implementation of FTRs

. Q3-Q4 2011:» Creation of an ACER dedicated TF to assess the

legal consequences to move to FTRs (would MiFID legislation be applicable and if so which impacts on the allocation platforms?)

. Q1-Q3 2012:» depending on the conclusions of this TF, elaboration

of regional implementation planning to move to FTRs

NB: The allocated products shall be compatible within a region (FTRs vs. PTRs, obligations vs. options, firmness…)
