Notice regarding the adaptation in line with inflation of certain amounts laid down in the Motor Insurance Directive 2009/103/EC

2010/C 332/01

In accordance with Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/103/EC (1) relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, and the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability, the amounts laid down in euro in Article 9(1) were reviewed in 2010 in order to take account of changes in the European index of consumer prices comprising all Member States, as published by Eurostat.

As a result of the review, the amounts laid down in euro are increased from EUR 1 000 000 to EUR 1 120 000, from EUR 5 000 000 to EUR 5 600 000 and from EUR 1 000 000 to EUR 1 120 000 respectively.

The Commission Services have informed the European Parliament and the Council of the review and the adapted amounts.

Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC — Deadline extension

Request from a Member State

2010/C 332/08

On 26 October 2010 the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 30(4) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1).

This request, which comes from the Kingdom of Denmark, concerns exploration for and extraction of oil and gas in that country. The request was published in OJ C 300, 6.11.2010, p. 37. The initial deadline was 27 January 2011.

Given that the Commission needs to obtain and examine further information, and in compliance with the provisions laid down in the third sentence of Article 30(6), the period in which the Commission must take a decision on this request is extended by one month.

The final deadline is therefore 27 February 2011.
