The Italian authorities present the tariff as a temporary measure, designed to last only until the completion, in 2010, of the infrastructure projects in power generation and interconnection currently under way (the GALSI pipeline and SAPEI marine cable).
Itaalia ametiasutused esitlevad tariifi kui ajutist meedet, mida on plaanitud rakendada kuni elektrienergia tootmise infrastruktuuri projektide ning praegu ehitatavate ühenduste (GALSI gaasijuhtme ja SAPEI merekaabli) valmimiseni 2010. aastal.
