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

Request made by a Contracting Entity

(2015/C 93/11)

On 16 January 2015 the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 35 of 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 (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 19 January 2015.

This request is made by Flughafen Wien and concerns activities relating to the exploitation of a geographical area for the purposes of provision of airports or other terminal facilities to carriers by air on the territory of Austria. Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU provides that the later Directive is not applicable when the relevant activity is directly exposed to competition in markets to which access is not restricted. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2014/25/EU and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules or other fields of EU policies.

Pursuant to letter (b) of first paragraph, of point 1 of Annex IV to Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission is allowed a period of 130 working days to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 30 July 2015.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping and countervailing measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain stainless steel wires originating in India: change of name of one company subject to an individual anti-dumping and countervailing duty rate

(2015/C 111/04)

Imports of certain stainless steel wires originating in India are subject to anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013’) and countervailing measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 861/2013 (2) (‘Regulation (EU) No 861/2013’).

Viraj Profiles Ltd, Thane, Maharashtra, a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of 6,8 %, following Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013, and to an individual countervailing duty of 0 %, following Regulation (EU) 861/2013, notified the Commission of its change of name and locations to Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The company argued that its change of name and locations does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the individual anti-dumping and countervailing duty rates previously applied to Viraj Profiles Ltd, Thane, Maharashtra (as mentioned in Regulation (EU) 1106/2013) or Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Mumbai, Maharashtra (as mentioned in Regulation (EU) 861/2013).

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name and locations in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013 and Regulation (EU) 861/2013.

Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013 to:

Viraj Profiles Ltd, Thane, Maharashtra should be read as:

Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 861/2013 to:

Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Mumbai, Maharashtra should equally be read as:

Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The TARIC additional code B780, previously attributed respectively to Viraj Profiles Ltd, Thane, Maharashtra, and Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Mumbai, Maharashtra, shall apply to Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Notice concerning the countervailing measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain stainless steel bars and rods originating in India: change of name of one company subject to an individual countervailing duty rate

Imports of certain stainless steel bars originating in India are subject to countervailing duties imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 405/2011 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 405/2011’).

Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Thane, a company subject to an individual countervailing duty of 0 %, following Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 721/2013 (2) (‘Regulation (EU) No 721/2013’) amending Regulation (EU) No 405/2011, notified the Commission of its change of name and locations to Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The company argued that its change of name and locations does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the individual countervailing duty rate previously applied to Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Thane.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name and locations in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 405/2011, amended by Regulation (EU) No 721/2013.

Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 405/2011 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 721/2013 to:

The European Commission has received a series of complaints about enforcement of the German Minimum Wage Act in the international transport sector (see Acknowledgement of receipt of complaint — Official Journal of the European Union C 86 of 13 March 2015, p. 16).

Following an exchange of information with the German authorities and a thorough legal assessment of the German measures, the European Commission decided on 19 May 2015 to launch an infringement procedure against Germany (1) concerning the application of the Minimum Wage Act to the transport sector. The German authorities now have two months to respond to the arguments put forward by the Commission, in the Letter of Formal Notice, which is the first step in the infringement procedure.

Any failure during the proceedings to comply with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 773/2004 (3) on the use of information obtained through access to the file may be regarded as lack of cooperation within the meaning of points (12) and (27) of this Notice. Under certain circumstances it is subject to penalties to be laid down under national law (4). Moreover, if any such use is made after the Commission has already adopted a prohibition decision in the proceedings, the Commission may, in addition to applicable penalties under national law, in any legal proceedings before the Union Courts, ask the Court to increase the fine in respect of the responsible undertaking. Should any of the above limitations to the use of information be breached, at any point in time, with the involvement of an outside counsel, the Commission may report the incident to the bar of that counsel, with a view to disciplinary action.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

Request made by a contracting entity

(2015/C 287/08)

On 28 July 2015, the Commission received a request from ENI Portugal BV pursuant to Article 35(1) of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC (1).

Until repealed (2), Directive 2004/17/EC applies to the award of contracts for the pursuit of, i.a., exploration for oil and gas, unless this activity is exempted pursuant to Article 30 of that Directive. From a procedural point of view, however, the provisions of the Directive 2014/25/EU (3) apply to requests for exemption, as the material conditions for granting an exemption remain unchanged as to substance.

This request concerns exploration for oil and gas in Portugal. Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC Directive provides that the later Directive is not applicable when the relevant activity is directly exposed to competition in markets to which access is not restricted. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC and are without prejudice to the application of EU competition rules.

In case an exemption would be granted, its effect would expire on the date of transposition of Directive 2014/25/EU into national legislation or, at the latest, when Directive 2004/17/EC is repealed, given that the activity of exploration for oil and gas will no longer be covered by the provisions of Directive 2014/25/EU; hence no exemption will be needed.

Pursuant to letter (a) of first paragraph, of point 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission is allowed a period of 90 working days to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 2 December 2015.
