Baker McKenzie has successfully represented Operator Gazociagow Przesylowych Gaz-System before the General Court of the European Union in a dispute concerning a decision of the Board of Appeal of the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators.

According to Baker McKenzie, the Board of Appeal of the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators made a decision to uphold ACER's previous decision which “selected the Hungarian RBP Platform as a capacity allocation tool at the Polish-German border.”

As a result of an application lodged by Baker McKenzie on behalf of Gaz-System, as “the operator of the GSA Platform, the General Court of the European Union annulled ACER's Board of Appeal's decision, thus confirming the plea presented in the application that the appeal procedure had been conducted in an erroneous manner,” the firm reported. The contested decision of the Board of Appeal of the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, dated February 7, 2020, was annulled and ACER was ordered to pay court costs.

The Baker McKenzie team included Partner Marcin Trepka and Counsel Elzbieta Buczkowska.
