in the event of contractual congestion, the transmission system operator shall offer unused capacity on the primary market at least on a day-ahead and interruptible basis; and

(b)

network users may re-sell or sublet their unused contracted capacity on the secondary market.

As regards the first subparagraph, point (a), a Member State may require notification or information of the transmission system operator by network users.
