The Act 40 of 2008 on the Supply of Natural Gas (hereinafter: the New Gas Act) was passed by Parliament on 8 June 2008. The New Gas Act introduced several - well-known - changes relative to the previous operational model, however, various details remain unelaborated upon. There are nearly a hundred sections in the Act referring to a separate legislation or governmental decree to set the detailed rules on the enforcement of the Act. The most important of these legislations is the Governmental Decree on the enforcement of the certain provisions of the New Gas Act, which was published on 3 January 2009 (Govt. Decree 19/2009 [hereinafter: the enforcement decree]), and includes the majority of the detailed rules.
