The capacity expansion of the section (TAL-IG) from Trieste to the Ingolstadt area was essential to meet the additional demand from the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<p>SNP Schlawien&#8217;s advice included legal support for the planning approval process for the capacity increase of the TAL-IG in Germany, the drafting of a cooperation agreement with the investor MERO \u010cR a. s., the preparation and negotiation of a framework agreement for the procurement of new facilities in Italy and Austria, and legal support for the implementation of the expansion measures.<\/p>\n<p>The Czech government recently announced the successful and timely implementation of the project. This secures the Czech Republic&#8217;s crude oil supply in the long term \u2013 completely independent of Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Advisors to the TAL Group<br \/>\n<\/u>SNP Schlawien, Munich: Dr. Stefan Dietlmeier (lead \/ public law advice and all contractual issues); Dr. Wolfgang Heinze (procurement law issues)<\/p>\n<p>Background: Dr. Stefan Dietlmeier has been advising TAL for over 30 years and was involved in the construction of the MERO pipeline after 1993. With his decades of expertise in the planning and implementation of pipeline energy projects, he has now also made an important contribution to this energy policy
