Abstract
In the open market conditions the security of supply is limited. When a large number of players are introduced in to the system, each of them pursuing only partial and limited goals and tasks, the totality of care about security becomes vague. The analysis of the supply security in the responsibility chain, which is made of producers, transport or transmission operators, distributors, suppliers, regulators and buyers, shows that open market model carries inherent risks because final security instance is lacking. The proposal is to introduce the State as the final instance that should be responsible for security, clear defining of the responsibilities of all entities included in the responsibility chain, and for an efficient supervision over the obligations.
