In any case where a transmission system operator cannot comply with an obligation set out in this Regulation without the cooperation of a non-UK TSO, the obligation must be interpreted as a requirement on the transmission system operator to—

comply with the obligation in so far as it is able to do so without the cooperation of the non-UK TSO; and
(b)
endeavour to cooperate with the non-UK TSO in order to comply with that obligation.
