Transcripción del abstract original del autor: The Croatian government plans to reorganise, liberalise and privatise the energy sector. This reorganisation is expected to emphasise compatibility with the European Union. The beginning of the reform of the gas sector started by accepting the Law on Gas Market in the Croatia Parliament in July 2001. The Law creates conditions for market functioning and for joining the European gas market. Today, the organisation of the Croatian gas activity consists of INA (oil and gas company), PLINACRO (natural gas transport company) and distribution companies. The Gas Market Law defines gas supply, which includes gas import, transmission and distribution. The Law defines eligible customers, reciprocity, gas transit and supervision. The Law also defines Conditions for TPA to Gas Transport Network, the choice is Negotiated TPA, and Gas Transport is defined as Public Service Obligation while Gas Distribution becomes Market Service. The Law on Regulation of Energy Activities introduced the Energy Regulatory Council which is an independent regulatory authority, established by Croatian Parliament. The Croatian Government has accepted two sub-laws, which design the tariff system. Accepted are Tariff System for Gas Supply for Tariff Customers and the Tariff System for Gas Transmission for gas suppliers and Eligible Customers. The third sub law is being prepared and it will design the Tariff System for Gas Distribution.
