SPAIN

Replacement of the information published in OJ C 186, 31.5.2018.

The Order of the Ministry of the Presidency (PRE/1282/2007) of 10 May on the financial means aliens are required to have in order to enter Spain specifies the amount that aliens have to prove is available to them in order to be able to enter Spain.

a) For the costs of their stay in Spain, the amount they have available to them must represent, in euro, 10 % of the gross national minimum wage (90 EUR) or its legal equivalent in foreign currency multiplied by the number of days they intend to stay in Spain and by the number of dependent persons travelling with them. The minimum amount at their disposal must represent 90 % of the gross national minimum wage (810 EUR) or its legal equivalent in foreign currency per person, regardless of the intended duration of the stay.

b) For their return to the state of provenance or for transit via third states, aliens must be able to produce a personal, untransferable and fixed-date ticket or tickets for the planned means of transport.

Aliens must prove that they have the above means of subsistence either by producing them if they are in cash, or by producing certified cheques, traveller’s cheques, receipts or credit cards, which must be accompanied by a recent bank statement (bank letters or internet bank statements are not acceptable) or by other evidence clearly showing the amount of credit available on the card or bank account.

‘4202 91 to 4202 99

Other These subheadings include so-called “writing cases” (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 4202, paragraph 4, which includes “writing-cases” as an example of “similar containers” covered by the second part of heading 4202). Writing cases are typically reinforced and designed for prolonged use. They usually have one or more pockets and loops to hold a notepad, papers, writing instruments and supplies etc. Writing cases may be closed with a zip all round or by means of an elastic band, a closing buckle or a flap with a snap fastener. The presence and type of a closing device is however not a decisive criterion for classification of writing cases under heading 4202. Writing cases without a closing device are also to be classified under this heading. Examples of writing cases of subheadings 4202 91 to 4202 99 are shown below: Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 ’
‘8544 70 00

Optical fibre cables This subheading also includes optical-fibre cables, designed for example for telecommunication use, made up of one or more optical fibres of heading 9001 which are individually coated with a dual layer of acrylate polymer. The coating consists of an inner layer of soft acrylate and an outer layer of hard acrylate, the latter may be coloured or coated by a layer of different colours to permit the identification of the fibres. The optical fibres are individually sheathed by the dual layer coating; they do not form an optical fibre cable of heading 8544 by themselves until placed in a protective casing. The dual layer coating of the individual optical fibres provides protection and structural integrity, for example by protecting the individual fibres against fracture and abrasion. Example of the structure of an individually sheathed optical fibre of heading 9001: 1. Optical fibre core (Glass fibre core); 2. Optical fibre cladding (Glass); 3. Inner layer of soft acrylate coating; 4. Outer layer of hard acrylate coating; 5. Colour coding identification. Examples of optical fibre cables of heading 8544 made up of individually sheathed fibres placed in a protective casing: ’.

Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

(2019/C 219/04)

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 101, the Explanatory note to CN heading ‘2206 00 Other fermented beverages (for example, cider, perry, mead, saké); mixtures of fermented beverages and mixtures of fermented beverages and non-alcoholic beverages, not elsewhere specified or included’ is replaced by the following text:

‘Products obtained through fermentation remain classified under heading 2206 provided that they retain the character of products classified under that heading, namely that of fermented beverages. Products to which, for instance, distilled alcohol, water and other substances (such as syrup, various aromas and colourings, and, in some cases, a cream base) have been added, might have changed their characteristics. When those additions result in losing the taste, smell and/or appearance of a beverage produced from a particular fruit or natural product, that is to say a fermented beverage of heading 2206, those products are to be classified under heading 2208 (see, to that effect, for example the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-150/08 (*1) and in Joined Cases C-532/14 and C-533/14 (*2)).

On page 104, the Explanatory note to CN subheadings ‘2208 90 91 and 2208 90 99 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80 % vol, in containers holding’ is replaced by the following text:

‘Products which are obtained not exclusively through fermentation but also through a process of purification, which leads to those products losing the properties and characteristics of fermented beverages and acquiring those of ethyl alcohol, are classified under heading 2208 (see, to that effect, for example the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-196/10 (*3) as regards a liquid described as a “malt beer base” with an alcoholic strength by volume of 14 % and obtained from brewed beer which has been clarified and then subjected to ultrafiltration, by which the concentration of ingredients such as bitter substances and proteins has been reduced). See also the explanatory note to heading 2206 00.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU

Request made by a Contracting Entity

(2019/C 316/11)

On 8 April 2019 the Commission received a request in accordance with 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 9 April 2019.

This request, made by Lietuvos energija UAB, concerns production and wholesale of electricity in Lithuania. 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 organised 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 105 working days to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 13 September 2019.

According to Article 35(5) of Directive 2014/25/EU, further requests concerning the same sector or activity in Lithuania 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.
