Dear Milosz,

As discussed, we are reverting with explanations on why we consider that TAP’s CapEx and OpEx data is highly confidential, and thus we preferred to kindly ask the Commission to aggregate the data on the SGC_01 group’s behalf.

TAP’s CapEx and OpEx estimates on an annual basis are considered for establishing the TAP tariff. Neither the TAP tariff, nor the TAP tariff methodology is currently publicly available information. Although the tariff and the tariff methodology will be disclosed to the public as of start of operations, TAP’s estimated or actual CapEx and OpEx numbers on an annual basis are not intended to be publicly disclosed.  Should the CapEx and OpEx numbers be exchanged among all the members of the SGC_01 group or disclosed to the public, these could be used for purposes entirely unrelated to the cost benefit analysis, potentially impacting TAP’s development and competitive environment.

We appreciated the Commission’s support and cooperation during this process and hopefully our explanations above are helpful.

Have a lovely weekend!

Kind regards,

Simina
