W&W’s Wojciech Bigaj is the author of an article on gas trading obligations which is published in the edited volume “Legal Conditions of Competition in the Gas Market” (ISBN 978-83-255-6723-1), edited by. B. Popowska, prof. E. Kosinski, Dr. P. Lissoni (Poznan University of Adam Mickiewicz), published by CH Beck 2015.

The article describes the effects of the functioning of the trading obligation on competition in the gas market. It also indicates the origin of these obligations, as well as the legal regulation commitments relating specifically to gas (power generators have been under a public trading obligation since 2010).

The author comprehensively describes the range of subjective and objective obligations, and what scope for exemption from the obligations has been provided for by the legislature (eg. Mandatory reserves). An extensive section in the article is also devoted to discussing the issue of exemption from tariff duties which have resulted from the changes.
