In which fields could the regulatory body ease your planning, technical and financial structures (should
there be more detailed regulation, should there be more written regulation, etc.)?
Is it difficult for you to understand the regulatory issues?
How would you evaluate your relationship with the regulatory body (cautious, trustfully, distantly,
frustrating)?
……………………………………………..
The cooperation with the regulatory body has continued over the past 20 years and is described as
very good. It is a professional but open relationship with close and regular face to face exchange.
Several project phases and problems connected with the planning can be openly discussed. The
contents of the discussions of the meetings are documented in minutes. The regulator is not obliged
to organize these meetings; the meetings are voluntary. The operator has the opportunity to talk
open about the difficulties within the project; agreements can be made already in the early stage of
the relevant project phases.
