Abstract

The article is an attempt to describe a new method of fulfilling the obligation to maintain natural gas stocks – the stock ticket contract. It presents two amendments to the Act of 16 February 2007 on Stocks of Crude Oil, Petroleum Products and Natural Gas as well as the rules in the event of a threat to domestic fuel security or crude oil market disturbances. Furthermore, presented are also some reservations and consequences of the stock ticket contract, a legal institution established by these amendments and rules. The author discusses the material, personal and temporal scope, form and nature, scope of control held by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, storage location of mandatory natural gas stocks based on the stock ticket contract, and the liability of its parties. The summary presents recommendations for improvements of the legal provisions related to the stock ticket contract.
