Article 6a 5b.

Notwithstanding paragraph 1, in addition to a possible deviation in accordance with the paragraph 5a and without prejudice to the obligation of other Member States to fill the underground gas storage facilities concerned, each Member State may decide to deviate from the filling target set out in paragraph 1, point (b) by up to five percentage points, if:

(a) 

its national gas production exceeds its average annual gas consumption over the preceding two years; or

(b) 

specific technical characteristics of an individual underground storage facility with technical capacity above 40 TWh located on its territory require a slow injection rate causing an exceptionally long injection period of more than 115 days.

A Member State may only use the flexibilities provided under the first subparagraph, as long as this does not negatively impact the ability of directly connected Member States to supply gas to their protected customers or this does not negatively impact the functioning of the internal market in gas. The Commission, in cooperation with the Member States using the flexibilities referred to in this subparagraph, shall assess the potential consequences of implementing those flexibilities, and inform the GCG immediately.
