The purpose of this mechanism is to streamline and integrate the cross-border tariffs in the IEM by eliminating the export, import and transit fees in the territory of countries (control blocks) joining the ITC mechanism, while agreed fees are applied accordingly based on scheduled electrical energy between ITC countries and perimeter contries (non participating in ITC agreement contries).
In line with the Interim ITC mechanism for the period June-December 2007 and Ministerial Decree No. 57/2002. (XII.29.) in Chapter B) of Annex 1.:
