Day-ahead and intraday markets shall: be organised in such a way as to be non-discriminatory; maximise the ability of all market participants to manage imbalances; maximise the opportunities for all market participants to participate in cross-zonal trade in as close as possible to real time across all bidding zones; provide prices that reflect market fundamentals, including the real time value of energy, on which market participants are able to rely when agreeing on longer-term hedging products; ensure operational security while allowing for maximum use of transmission capacity; be transparent while at the same time protecting the confidentiality of commercially sensitive information and ensuring trading occurs in an anonymous manner; make no distinction between trades made within a bidding zone and across bidding zones; and be organised in such a way as to ensure that all markets participants are able to access the market individually or through aggregation.
