y the European Council on 14/15 December 2006. As long as restrictions remain in place onthe free movement of goods carried by vessels and aircraft registered in Cyprus or where thelast port of call was in Cyprus, Turkey will not be in a position to implement fully the acquisrelating to this chapter.ConclusionExcept for the railways sector, some progress has been achieved towards alignment of thetransport sector. Legislative alignment has reached an advanced level in the aviation,maritime and road sectors. However, some recent legislative packages adopted by the EUamending the acquis require additional alignment efforts. No progress has been maderegarding rail market opening and safety. The lack of communications between air trafficcontrol centres in Turkey and the Republic of Cyprus continues to seriously compromise airsafety. In the maritime sector, no progress has been made on becoming a party to internationalconventions. The implementation capacity is limited, particularly for road transport and forprevention of pollution and emergency response in the maritime area. Human resources andtechnical capacity to implement the acquis remain limited.4.15. Chapter 15: EnergyProgress can be reported in the field of security of supply. Turkey completed the ratificationprocedure of the intergovernmental agreement on the Nabucco gas pipeline in August 2010.As the next step project support agreements can now be concluded between governments.

Sales through the balancing and settlementsystem correspond to around 75% of total electricity sales volume. The electricity marketlicensing regulation was amended. The amendment makes completion of the environmentalimpact assessment procedure a precondition for granting generating licences in the electricitysector.
