28 EVOLUTION OF REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS IN NATURAL GAS POLICY 28/20 Art. 177 Federal Constitution Petroleum Act (9.478/97) Stablishes that every natural gas transportation operation is considered a Union monopoly It did not include the intrinsic characteristics of the natural gas industry Gas Law (11.909/09) Focused on natural gas transportation activities Pipeline transportation operations exclusively made under concession contracts or federal authorization (30 years) Regulated the free access for third party users to the pipelines Except LNG Decree 7.382/2010 Filled the gaps of the Gas Law on issues that lacked regulation, especially on gas commercialization activities under regulation and authorization of the ANP ANP Resolution Nº 11 /2016 Regulated third party access to pipelines, providing greater transparency, competition in the commercialization and entrance of new players. Operational exchange (swap) Reduction of regulatory vacuum (ex : dispute resolution) Greater legal stability and attractiveness to new investors Increased competition among industry players. Flexible Contract Options for LNG (flexibility of the take or pay concept)
