Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU

Request made by a contracting entity

(2020/C 361/07)

On 2 October 2020 the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 5 October 2020.

This request, made by Österreichische Postbus AG concerns non- commercial bus services in Austria. Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU provides that ‘contracts intended to enable an activity mentioned in Articles 8 to 14 to be carried out shall not be subject to this Directive if the Member State or the contracting entities having introduced the request pursuant to Article 35 can demonstrate that, in the Member State in which it is performed, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted; nor shall design contests that are organized for the pursuit of such an activity in that geographic area be subject to this Directive’. The assessment of direct exposure to competition that can be carried out in the context of Directive 2014/25/EU is without prejudice to the full-fledged application of competition law.

The Commission is allowed a period of 145 working days to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 10 May 2021.

According to Article 35(5) of Directive 2014/25/EU, further requests concerning the same activity in Austria, received before the expiry of the period opened in respect of this request, shall not be considered as new procedures and shall be treated in the context of this request.

Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU

Suspension of the period for adoption of implementing acts

(2021/C 22/10)

On 2 October 2020, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The first working day following receipt of the request was 5 October 2020 and the initial period available to the Commission for deciding on this request was of 145 working days.

This request, made by Österreichische Postbus AG, concerns operation of non-commercial bus services in Austria. The relevant notice was published on page number 17 of OJ C 361 of 27 October 2020. The initial deadline was 10 May 2021.

Pursuant to Annex IV, paragraph 2, of Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission may require the Member State or the contracting entity concerned or the competent independent national authority or any other competent national authority to provide all necessary information or to supplement or clarify information given within an appropriate time limit. On 11 November 2020, the Commission asked the Austrian authorities to provide additional information by 3 December 2020 at the latest.

In the event of late or incomplete answers, the initial deadline shall be suspended for the period between the expiry of the time limit set in the request for information, and the receipt of the complete and correct information.

The final deadline will therefore expire after 102 working days after the receipt of the complete and correct information.

(1) Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC (OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 243).
Notice concerning the anti-dumping and countervailing measures in force in respect of imports of electric bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China: name change of one company subject to the anti-dumping duty rate for non-sampled cooperating companies and to the definitive countervailing duty rate for non-cooperating companies

(2021/C 32/09)

Imports of cycles, with pedal assistance, with an auxiliary electric motor (‘electric bicycles’) originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/73 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) 2019/73’) and a definitive countervailing duty, imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/72 (2) (‘Regulation (EU) 2019/72’).

Wuxi Merry Ebike Co., Ltd. (TARIC (3) additional code C456) is a company located in the People’s Republic of China whose exports to the Union of electric bicycles are subject to the anti-dumping duty rate for non-sampled cooperating companies of 16,2 % and to the anti-subsidy rate for non-cooperating companies of 17,2 %. On 29 October 2020, Wuxi Merry Ebike Co., Ltd. informed the Commission that as of 18 September 2020 it had changed its name as set out below.

The company asked the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty applied to the company under its previous name.

The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) 2019/73 and of Regulation (EU) 2019/72.

Therefore, the references in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2019/73 and in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2019/72 to:

Wuxi Merry Ebike Co., Ltd. Jiangsu C456

should be read as:

Changzhou Merry Ebike Co., Ltd. Jiangsu C456

(2021/C 58 I/06)

Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:

On page 413, the following explanatory note is inserted:

‘9504 40 00 Playing cards This subheading includes typical playing cards that require an interaction between the cards themselves, such as pairing, exchanging or using and combining the cards to form words, groups of symbols or rows of numbers (for example, bridge cards, poker game cards, lexicon cards, tarot cards and phantasy playing cards). This subheading also includes memory playing cards and other similar playing cards, usually played so that the same colours, values, symbols or images have to be paired. Other types of card games where the cards contain knowledge questions, tasks, quizzes, pictures or answers to these questions (whether or not in a set with other playing instruments, for example, a dice or an hourglass) are however not considered playing cards of this subheading. The players only have to reply to a question, fulfil a task or, for example, guess who is shown in the picture on a card and their way of playing does not require an interaction between the cards. These cards have the objective characteristics of other parlour games and are thus to be classified under CN code 9504 90 80 as other games.’
