Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC — Extension of the period

Request made on behalf of a Member State

(2006/C 72/05)

On 20 February 2006 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 Republic of Finland, concerns the production (including combined heat and power) and sale of electricity in that country. The request was published in Official Journal of the European Union C 59 of 11.3.2006. The initial period expires on 21 May 2006.

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

The final period will therefore expire on 22 June 2006.

Notice of termination of the safeguard investigation initiated on 6 July 2005 under Council Regulations (EC) No 3285/94 and (EC) No 519/94, concerning imports of frozen strawberries

(2006/C 80/03)

Further to a request from Poland, a safeguard investigation under Council Regulations (EC) No 3285/94 and (EC) No 519/94, published in Notice 2005/C 165/02 and concerning imports of frozen strawberries was initiated on 6 July 2005.

In accordance with the applicable provisions under Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 and Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94, the Commission commenced an investigation procedure seeking to determine whether imports of the product in question are causing, or threatening to cause, serious injury to the Community producers concerned. Whilst the Commission procedure for seeking the information deemed necessary from importers, traders, producers, users and exporters is still ongoing, no conclusion may be drawn at the present stage of the investigation.

On 23 December 2005, Poland withdrew its request for safeguard measures. The withdrawal of the request coincided with the lodging of an anti-dumping complaint made on 5 December 2005, against imports of the same product originating in China.

Considering that the request for safeguard measures has been withdrawn and taking into account the outcome of the consultation with the Member States, the Commission sees no reason to further pursue the present investigation. The safeguard investigation concerning imports of frozen strawberries, initiated on 6 July 2005, shall hereby be terminated.

(This list replaces the list published in Official Journal of the European Communities C 215 of 2 September 2005, page 4)

(2006/C 139/06)

1. GENERAL

Under Article 16(1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 800/1999 (1), supervisory agencies approved by the Member States, are authorised to issue certificates certifying the unloading and importation of agricultural products qualifying for export refunds in third countries or, at least, their arrival at destination in third countries.

Furthermore, supervisory agencies approved and controlled by a Member State in accordance with Articles 16(a) to 16(f) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 or an official agency of the Member State shall be responsible for carrying out checks provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 (granting requirements of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport).

The Member States are responsible for approving and monitoring these supervisory agencies.

Approval of a supervisory agency by one Member State is valid in all Member States. This means that certificates issued by approved supervisory agencies may be used throughout the Community, irrespective of the Member State in which the agency issuing the certificate is based.

For the information of Community exporters of agricultural products, the Commission periodically publishes a list of all the supervisory agencies approved by the Member States. The attached list was updated on 1 April 2006.

2. NOTICE

The Commission draws the attention of exporters to the following:

— The fact that a particular supervisory agency appears on the list does not automatically guarantee that certificates issued by that agency are acceptable. Additional documentary evidence may be required. It may also become apparent later that certificates issued are inaccurate.

— Agencies may be taken off the list at any time. Before settling on a particular agency, exporters are accordingly advised to check with the national authorities (cfr Annex X of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999) that it is still approved.

— Exporters can obtain further information on any agency from the national authority which approved it.
