What is an identical letter?

An identical letter is a communication with the same wording sent to all or selected groups of players in the petroleum sector, depending on whom the content is relevant for.

These communications can provide:

• guidance on regulatory provisions
• requests for certain measures to be implemented
• other important information.

An identical letter does not have the status of an order, and is accordingly not formally binding.

We may follow up an identical letter with more formal action if it fails to have the desired effect.
