(7) In order to ensure an optimal management of the electricity transmission network and to allow trading and supplying electricity to retail customers across borders in the Community a European network of the transmission system operators should be established. Its tasks should be carried out in compliance with Community competition rules which remain applicable to the decisions of the European network of the transmission system operators. Its tasks should be well- defined and their working method should be such as to ensure efficiency, representativity and transparency. Given that more effective progress may be achieved through an approach at regional level, transmission system operators should set up regional structures within the overall cooperation structure, whilst ensuring that results at regional level are compatible with codes and investment plans at Community level. Cooperation within such regional structures presupposes effective unbundling of network activities from production and supply activities in the absence of which regional cooperation between transmission system operators gives rise to a risk of anti-competitive conductMember States should promote cooperation at regional level, and regulators should monitor the effectiveness of the network at that level.

(8a) To ensure greater transparency of the entire electricity transmission network in Europe, the European Network of Transmission System Operators should draw up, publish and update a "road map" for the electricity network in Europe. All electricity transmission networks and possible regional connections should be included in this road map. The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators should be consulted in the development of the road map, in particular in checking its consistency with the 10-year investment plans. The road map should be submitted to the Commission for review.

5. The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity shall publish, every two years, a Community- wide 10-year network investment plan every two years, with the possibility of extension of this timeframe where necessary. The investment plan shall include the modelling of the integrated network, scenario development, a generation adequacy report and an assessment of the resilience of the system. The investment plan shall, in particular, build on national investment plans and on the Guidelines for Trans- European energy networks in accordance with Decision No 1364/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. The investment plan shall identify investment gaps, notably with respect to cross border capacities.
