THE CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD The year 2018 has been dynamic for the Regulator with significant changes in regulatory development. In early 2018, a new operational strategy for the years 2018-2021 was approved, defining key priorities for the service quality, availability and setting economically justified prices The most significant event in the energy sector was the agreement between the Finnish, Estonian and Latvian regulators on the creation of a single natural gas market, which is planned to be launched in 2020. This will mean that a single entry-exit tariff zone will be applied in the future, namely, only the tariffs on the external border of the unified zone will be applied for transporting natural gas through the systems of these countries but no transmission tariff will be applied at cross-border points between Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Last year, the Regulator also approved new natural gas distribution system service tariffs.
