The '''European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas''' ('''ENTSOG''') is an association of Europe's [[transmission system operator]]s (TSOs). ENTSOG was created on 1 December 2009 by 31&nbsp;TSOs from 21&nbsp;European countries. Creation of the ENTSOG was initiated by the adoption of the European Union [[Third Energy Package|third legislative package on the gas and electricity markets]]. It aims to promote the completion and cross-border trade for gas on the [[Single market of the European Union|European internal market]], and development of the European natural gas transmission network.  According to the third energy package ENTSOG is required to develop an EU-wide ten-year gas network development plan.<ref name=euro140610>{{Cite press release
