Pipeline Regulations
- The law governing cross-border energy transport, transit or infrastructures is a complex combination of national, regional and international norms and principles.
- There are numerous international agreements between States, as well as between host countries and private companies, concluded to facilitate individual cross-border pipeline projects.
- The terms and conditions of these arrangements vary greatly. As a rule, each pipeline project has its own unique legal regime, based on certain principles and rules of general international law, applicable regional instruments, norms of bilateral pipeline agreements, and provisions of commercial contracts between various private parties.
