Companies may join collective structures to transfer their entire energy savings obligation globally for the 2011-2013 period, but must notify the energy minister within one month of acceptance
Collective structures must publish the list of their members publicly and assume financial guarantee for all transferred obligations
Collective structures must submit consolidated declarations to the energy minister reporting aggregated energy quantities of all members by specified deadlines
