(14)There is no conceivable reason not to apply other design features of the MCM to derivatives linked to other VTPs. This includes the rules disciplining the suspension of the MCM. It should be noted that, pursuant to Article 4(8), in case of concrete indications that a market correction event is imminent, the activation of the MCM should be suspended if this would cause unintended market disturbances. Equally, pursuant to Article 6, the MCM should be suspended at any time if the dynamic safety ceiling were to lead to serious market disturbances, affecting the security of supply, the mandatory demand reduction targets, or the stability and orderly functioning of energy derivative markets, the intra-Union flows of gas, the differences between gas market prices within the Union or versus other areas in the world substantially, or the validity of existing gas supply contracts. The assessment of unintended market disturbances should consider the impact on the European market as a whole and also specifically on each VTP to which the MCM applies; in case of such unintended market disturbance, the suspension decision would apply according to Article 6 of the MCM Regulation.
