Regulated tariffs
The amendments of 16 July 2001 to the Belgian federal Gas Act of 12 April 1965 and the Royal Decree of 15 April 2002 provide that the following LNG terminalling services are to be offered at regulated tariffs:

	Receiving and unloading of LNG carriers
	Basic storage
	Flexibility storage
	Send-out capacity

The regulated tariffs are cost-based. Accordingly, the costs of Fluxys LNG are allocated to the various services offered by the company.

Tariffs as from 1 April 2007
In anticipation of the transposition of the 2nd European Gas Directive, an amendment to the Belgian Gas Act was made on 12 August 2003. The amendment makes it possible to apply multi-annual tariffs and a specifically calculated fair profit margin for new infrastructure of national or European interest if such a derogation is necessary for the long-term development of this infrastructure. The amendment was implemented by the Royal Decree of 15 December 2003.

	Amendment of 12 August 2003 to the Belgian Gas Act
	Royal Decree of 15 December 2003

The new legal and regulatory framework allows Fluxys LNG to switch to multi-annual tariffs as from 2007, when the capacity enhancement project for the Zeebrugge LNG terminal will have increased the annual throughput capacity to about 9 billion m³(n) of natural gas.

Fluxys LNG submitted to CREG its proposal of multi-annual tariffs for the period 2007-2027 on 15 July 2004. A second draft of this tariff proposal was approved by CREG on 30 September 2004.
