Recital 13
(13) The Agency provides an integrated framework which enables national regulatory authorities to participate and cooperate. That framework facilitates the uniform application of the legislation on the internal markets in electricity and natural gas throughout the Union. As regards situations concerning more than one Member State, the Agency has been granted the power to adopt individual decisions. That power should under clearly specified conditions cover technical and regulatory issues which require regional coordination , notably concerning the implementation of network codes and guidelines, cooperation within regional opercoordinational centres, the regulatory decisions necessary to effectively monitor wholesale market integrity and transparency, decisions concerning electricity and natural gas infrastructure that connects or that might connect at least two Member States and, as a last resort, exemptions from the internal market rules for new electricity interconnectors and new gas infrastructure located in more than one Member State.

Where appropriate the Agency should be accountable to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.
