Natural gas market Act (No. 587 of 2017).

The present Act applies to the import, export, transmission, distribution, delivery, and storage of natural gas and liquefied natural gas. It's purpose is to ensure the conditions for the national and regional natural gas market and the European Union's internal natural gas market to function effectively, securely, and environmentally sustainably, so that a good supply security of natural gas at a competitive price and with sufficiently good quality can be guaranteed.

Processing facilities for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and storage facilities for natural gas; V. Obligations for actors in the natural gas market; VI. Natural gas agreements; VII.
