"[...] the only stimulus toward unbundling was the accession of the Slovak Republic to the EU and the related requirement to implement the Directive 2003/55/EC (the “Gas Directive”). No attempts were made to promote competition in the gas industry in the past and the market structure remains monopolistic. [...]
[...] The new Energy Act lay down rules for the operation of the gas market together with the Ordinance of the Government of the Slovak Republic, no. 123/2005 Coll. Neither the Ordinance no. 123/2005 Coll. nor any otherlegal rule give any further detail as to the practical implementation of the directive. The interpretation of general unbundling criteria laid down by the Energy Act is generally in the hands of RONI.
[...] Gas transmission (as well as most of distribution) in Slovakia is operated by a single TSO, Slovensky plynarensky priemysel, a.s. [...] The TSO still holds the license pursuant to the old license system and thus his license is a combined one. It shall be liable to legal and functional unbundling, nevertheless it has not undertaken any measures to advance its compliance with the unbundling requirements, but for issuance of the program of compliance in which it sets outits future steps towards such compliance. The program has not been made public yet. It seems so, that the program merely copies the general conditions laid down in the Energy Act and that the sole TSO awaits its interpretation by RONI, since no detailed unbundling criteria have been given yet neither by RONI nor by the Government nor by any other institution. It is not clear, why the sole TSO has not undertaken any unbundling measures in spite of its liability to full legal and functional unbundling any there is no pressure on the side of RONI to make it do so. It seems so that RONI will first issue the new licenses according to the new license regime."

Žeby to zaujímalo niekoho z Úradu pre reguláciu sieťových odvetví? Respektíve vládu, ktorá sa vystatuje že zakrúti krkom všetkým monopolom?
