Joints on seamless copper, brass, steel or nonferrous gas tubing shall be made by means of approved gas tubing fittings, soldered or brazed with a material having a melting point exceeding 1,000°F.

Thermionic, cold cathode or photocathode valves and tubes (for example, vacuum or vapour or gas filled valves and tubes, mercury arc rectifying valves and tubes, cathode ray tubes, television camera tubes); parts thereof

9. Developing gas transport capacity (gas supply pipelines)

Developing the natural gas transport capacity (gas supply pipelines) needed in order to meet demand and diversify supplies from internal and external sources, as well as supply routes:

The combination of MRW's and Vallourec's operations would give rise to high (over 30%) shares of EEA consumption in a number of areas, seamless machanical tubes, seamless powergen tubes, seamless OCTG tubing and casing, gas cylinders, bearing tubes and seamless precision tubes. However the Commission has established that the will be significant compatition from other producers notably, Dalmine for mechanical tubes, powergen tubes, OCTG tubing and casing, precision tubes, gas cylinders and bearing tubes, Benteler for powergen tubes, tubing and casing and precision tubes, imports for seamless tubing and casing, Chesterfield Tubes for gas c ...[+++]ylinders, Ovako for bearing tubes and Desford Tubes for bearing tubes.

The common position establishes the following priorities for action by the Community on trans-European energy networks: - for electricity networks: = the connection of isolated electricity networks to the interconnected European networks; = the development of interconnections between Member States and of internal connections insofar as necessary in order to enhance these interconnections; = the development of interconnections with non-Community countries in Europe and the Mediterranean region which contribute to improving the reliability and security of the Community's electricity supply networks or to adding to electricity supplies to the Community; - for natural gas networks: = the introduction of natural gas into new regions; = the c ...[+++]onnection of isolated gas networks to the interconnected European networks, including the improvements needed to the existing networks for this purpose and the connection of the separate natural gas networks; = increasing the transmission (gas delivery pipelines), reception and storage capacities needed to satisfy demand, and diversification of supply sources and routes for natural gas.
