Amendment of public service obligations imposed on certain scheduled air services in Spain

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 53/03)

Pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992, the Spanish Government has decided to amend the public service obligations imposed on scheduled air services in the Balearic Islands published in OJ C 307 of 17 December 2003 and amended in OJ C 95 of 22 April 2006.

The maximum fare for a single ticket shall be as follows:

a) Majorca-Ibiza: EUR 85

b) Majorca-Minorca: EUR 85

c) Minorca-Ibiza: EUR 117

The other requirements of the public service obligation published in OJ C 307 of 17 December 2003 remain unchanged.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain plastic sacks and bags originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China: change of the name of one company which is subject to an average anti-dumping duty for co-operating companies

(2007/C 63/03)

Imports of certain plastic sacks and bags originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China ('PRC') are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 (1) dated 25.09.2006.

YANTAI LONGQUAN PACKAGING MATERIAL CO., LTD, a company located in the PRC, whose exports to the Community of certain plastic sacks and bags are subject to an average anti-dumping duty for co-operating companies of 8,4 % by the above-mentioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that the company name changed on 21 July 2004 to YANTAI LONGQUAN PLASTIC AND RUBBER PRODUCTS CO., LTD. The change of Enterprise registration was approved by the ‘Administration of Industry and Commerce of Yantai City ’on 21 July 2004.

The company substantiated its request for a change of name in Annex I of the Council Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 with the fact that it mistakenly used its former name within the Anti-Dumping proceeding. Therefore the company argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the average anti-dumping duty for co-operating companies applied to the company under its previous name of YANTAI LONGQUAN PACKAGING MATERIAL CO., LTD.

The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006. Therefore, the reference to YANTAI LONGQUAN PACKAGING MATERIAL CO., LTD, should be read as YANTAI LONGQUAN PLASTIC AND RUBBER PRODUCTS CO., LTD. in Annex I of Council Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006.

The TARIC additional code A766 previously attributed to YANTAI LONGQUAN PACKAGING MATERIAL CO., LTD, shall apply to YANTAI LONGQUAN PLASTIC AND RUBBER PRODUCTS CO., LTD.

Request from a Member State

(2007/C 74/07)

On 9 February 2007 the Commission received a request under Article 30(4) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1).

The request, from the Republic of Finland, concerns postal services and other services as referred to in Article 6(2)(b) and (c) of Directive 2004/17/EC in that country. A notification of the request was published in OJ C 47, 1.3.2007,p. 13. The initial deadline was 12 May 2007.

In accordance with the second sentence of Article 30(6), since the Commission needs to obtain and examine additional information, the period within which the Commission must take a decision on this request has been extended by three months.

The final deadline is therefore 12 August 2007.

In addition, with regard to the territorial delineation, signatory societies undertake (1) to license their own performing rights repertoire to internet services, satellite services and/or cable services directly across the EEA or (2) to mandate, under certain conditions, each signatory society which fulfils certain qualitative criteria to grant multi repertoire multi territorial performing right licences for internet services, satellite services and cable retransmission services. Concerning internet, the proposed commitments cover all cross border internet websites accessible within the EEA. Concerning satellite transmission, collecting societies located within the area of up link of the broadcast or in which the broadcaster economically targets end-consumers will have the possibility to grant a licence covering the relevant licensing area to the broadcaster which exploits a channel on a multi territorial basis. For cable retransmission services of a satellite broadcast, not only the collecting society in the Member State where the cable operator is located but also the collecting society which grants the licence to the broadcaster will have the possibility to grant a licence for cable retransmissions. This does not apply when a collecting society offers a global licence for cable retransmissions for all transmitted channels at a tariff which is independent of the number of retransmitted channels or when a cable operator has a statutory obligation to re-invoice the royalty fee in respect of the cable retransmission licence to the end-consumer. Notwithstanding the above, the commitments do not preclude the signatory societies from excluding internet services, satellite services and/or cable services from the network of reciprocal representation contracts. Each signatory society shall implement the commitments at the latest six months, in relation to internet service, and nine months, in relation to satellite and cable retransmission services, after the adoption of the European Commission's decision under Article 9(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003.
The new public service obligation is as follows:

Minimum frequency

The minimum level of service provided, excluding public holidays and four consecutive weeks between 15 July and 10 September, must be:

— two return trips a day, morning and evening, from Monday to Friday inclusive, 225 days a year;

— one return trip on Sunday evening, 45 times a year.

The service must be non-stop between Agen (La Garenne) and Paris (Orly).

Type of aircraft used

The service must be operated with a pressurised turboprop or jet aircraft having a seating capacity of at least 30.

Timetables

The timetables must allow passengers on business trips to make a round trip within the day from Agen (La Garenne) and to spend at least eight hours in Paris.

Flight bookings

Seats on these flights must be marketed using at least one computerised booking system which can be accessed by travel agencies.

Continuity of service

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the carrier must not exceed 3 % of the number of flights scheduled in any one year. The carrier must give six months' notice before discontinuing the services.

Community carriers are hereby informed that the operation of air services without regard to the abovementioned public service obligations may result in administrative and/or criminal penalties.

(2007/C 153/06)

The publication of reference amounts for the crossing of the external borders, as referred to in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) is based on the information communicated by the Member States to the commission in conformity with Article 34 of the Schengen Borders Code.

In addition to the publication in the OJ, a monthly update is available on the website of Directorate General Justice, Freedom and Security.

FRANCE:

Replacement of the information published in Official Journal of the European Union C 247 of 13 Ocotber 2006.

The reference amount for adequate means of subsistence for the planned duration of an alien's stay or for his transit via France to a destination in a third State is equal to the amount of the guaranteed minimum wage in France (SMIC) calculated daily on the basis of the rate fixed on 1 January of the current year.

This amount is regularly reassessed on the basis of the French cost of living index:

— automatically whenever the retail price index rises more than 2 %,

— by a government decision — after consultation with the national commission for collective bargaining — to grant a rise higher than the rise in the retail price index.

As of 1 July 2005, the daily amount of the SMIC (minimum wage) is EUR 56,20.

Persons holding proof of accommodation (attestation d'accueil) must possess a minimum amount of money, equivalent to half the SMIC, in order to stay in France. This amount is therefore EUR 28,10 per day.
