| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1) Existing supply contracts for natural gas which are lawful under the national law of the Member State concerned, including any amendments thereto and the use of contractual flexibility mechanisms, shall remain unaffected by this Regulation. They shall not be considered as new contracts solely because of adjustments made to ensure security of supply or to adapt to market developments. |
This amendment safeguards the legal certainty of existing gas supply contracts that are lawful under national law, including their normal adaptation over time. It prevents legitimate contractual adjustments and the use of agreed flexibility mechanisms from being reclassified as “new contracts” under this Regulation, thereby protecting contractual freedom and avoiding disproportionate interference with long‑term commercial arrangements of undertakings.
