As a general rule, such registration must be made not later than one month before commencement of the coverage period. With some countries, arrangements have been made about a larger degree of flexibility than the general procedures allow for. In specific cases, FDO should be contacted. An agreement must have a minimum term of one calendar month, except for certain countries where the minimum term is three calendar months.
International ticket agreements must prior to the coverage start be approved by the authorities from the covering and covered countries. In Denmark international ticket agreements are to be approved by FDO. FDO will process the agreement as soon as possible and forward it to the foreign authorities for approval. No later than 3 business days before the start of the coverage period the company will receive response from FDO through OilData.

Danish CSO companies can cover a maximum of 30% of their CSO in each product category with coverage from abroad. If this limit is being exceeded FDO will automatically adjust the allowed coverage from the ticket in OilData.

It is not allowed for a CSO company to sub delegate the coverage that is received from ticket agreements.

If the FDO finds that the conditions for an international ticket agreement is not met, the Danish Energy Agency will be notified.
