Information from the Commission concerning the non-application of certain provisions of Regulation (EU) 2020/698 by Hungary

COVID-19 outbreak

(Regulation (EU) 2020/698 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 2020 laying down specific and temporary measures in view of the COVID-19 outbreak concerning the renewal or extension of certain certificates, licences and authorisations and the postponement of certain periodic checks and periodic training in certain areas of transport legislation (OJ L 165, 27.5.2020, p. 10))

(2020/C 183 I/03)

Notification by: Hungary

In conformity with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) 2020/698, Hungary informed the Commission on 29 May 2020 that it has decided not to apply certain provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2020/698.

Provisions of Regulation (EU) 2020/698 that Hungary has decided not to apply:

— Article 5(1) concerning the time limits for the periodic roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers under Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1);

— Article 5(2) concerning the validity of roadworthiness certificates under Directive 2014/45/EU.

(1) Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on periodic roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers and repealing Directive 2009/40/EC (OJ L 127, 29.4.2014, p. 51).
Notice of a request concerning the applicability of Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU

Extension of the period for adoption of implementing acts

(2020/C 193/12)

On 13 December 2019 the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1).

This request, made by SJ AB, concerns activities relating to the provision of railway passenger transport in Sweden. The relevant notice was published on page number 11 of OJ C 53 of 17 February 2020. The initial deadline was 3 July 2020.

Pursuant to the fourth subparagraph of paragraph 1 to Annex IV of Directive 2014/25/EU, the deadline may be extended by the Commission with the agreement of those having made the request for exemption. Given SJ AB’s request to provide additional information and with the agreement of the Commission, the period available to the Commission for deciding on this request is hereby extended by 19 working days.

The final deadline therefore expires on 31 July 2020.

(1) Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement procedures 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 of information on postponement of entry into application of MiFIR open access provisions with regard to exchange-traded derivatives

(2020/C 219 I/01)

Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1)(‘MiFIR’) provides for a transitional period during which Articles 35 or 36 of MiFIR do not apply to those central clearing counterparties (‘CCPs’) or trading venues which made a request to benefit from this transitional arrangement with respect to exchange-traded derivatives.

The transitional period expires on 3 July 2020. The current market environment, with a high degree of uncertainty and volatility driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, increases operational risks for CCPs and trading venues. Increased risk requires more focus on business continuity and the assessment of access requests may, in the current environment, have negative repercussions on the orderly functioning of markets in trading and clearing of exchange- traded derivatives. The co-legislators therefore agreed to extend the transitional period until 3 July 2021.

In consequence, market participants should be aware that the co-legislators agreed to extend the transitional arrangements in Article 54(2) concerning Articles 35 or 36 of MiFIR, effective as of 4 July 2020. The extension applies to those CCPs or trading venues, which made a request to their competent authorities to benefit from the transitional arrangements with respect to exchange-traded derivatives.

Whilst not agreeing with the Commission’s preliminary assessment, Aspen has proposed commitments pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 to meet the Commission’s competition concerns. The key elements of these commitments are as follows: (a) Aspen will reduce its net prices for each of the Products in all of the EEA Member States where price levels may raise concerns. The reduced net prices are set out per Member State and per Product in the proposed commitments. The price reduction will be on average around 73% for the Products across the EEA. After the reduction by Aspen, there will still remain a significant variation in the prices between Member States, because Aspen’s per-unit costs differ between the Member States. The committed net prices are maximum net prices, i.e. price-ceilings, and Aspen is free to apply lower prices. (b) The reduced net prices will apply for a period of ten years counting from the day of notification of the Commission’s decision accepting the commitments. In the second half of the period, i.e. after year five, there can once be a review of price levels in case of a significant increase in Aspen’s direct costs. In addition, on top of the ten-year period mentioned, Aspen commits to apply the reduced net prices already retroactively from 1 October 2019 onwards, when Aspen first approached the Commission with a concrete commitments proposal. Aspen will reimburse the amounts paid in excess of the reduced net prices during the period from 1 October 2019 until Aspen has effectively implemented the price reductions to entities that ultimately pay or reimburse medicine prices in the Member States. These payments are without prejudice to any claims under applicable civil or commercial laws. (c) Aspen commits to continue supplying the Products for a guaranteed first period of five years. For a second five-year period, Aspen commits to continue supplying the Products unless Aspen, if it intends to discontinue supplying, (i) informs, at least one year in advance, the Member State authorities concerned of that intention, and (ii) makes the Products' marketing authorisations available to any interested third party and maintains the marketing authorisations until it has found a purchaser.
