Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

Request made by a Member State

(2008/C 178/25)

On 3 July 2008, the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 30(4) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 4 July 2008.

This request, made by the Czech Republic, concerns electricity production in that country. Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC 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 competition rules.

The Commission is allowed a period of three months to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 4 October 2008.

The provisions of the third subparagraph of the abovementioned paragraph 4 are not applicable. Consequently, the period allowed to the Commission may be extended by three months. Any such extension must be published.

List of international control and supervisory agencies (hereafter referred to as ‘supervisory agencies’) approved by the Member States under Annex VI to Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999

(This list replaces the list published in Official Journal of the European Union C 177 of 31.7.2007, p. 4)

(2008/C 222/08)

1. GENERAL

Under Article 16(1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (1), supervisory agencies approved by the Member States, are authorised to issue certificates certifying the unloading and importation of agricultural products qualifying for export refunds in third countries or, at least, their arrival at destination in third countries.

Furthermore, supervisory agencies approved and controlled by a Member State in accordance with Articles 16a to 16f of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 or an official agency of the Member State shall be responsible for carrying out checks provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 (granting requirements of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport).

The Member States are responsible for approving and monitoring these supervisory agencies.

Approval of a supervisory agency by one Member State is valid in all Member States. This means that certificates issued by approved supervisory agencies may be used throughout the Community, irrespective of the Member State in which the agency issuing the certificate is based.

For the information of Community exporters of agricultural products, the Commission periodically publishes a list of all the supervisory agencies approved by the Member States. The attached list was updated on 1 July 2008.

2. NOTICE

The Commission draws the attention of exporters to the following:

— The fact that a particular supervisory agency appears on the list does not automatically guarantee that certificates issued by that agency are acceptable. Additional documentary evidence may be required. It may also become apparent later that certificates issued are inaccurate.

— Agencies may be taken off the list at any time. Before settling on a particular agency, exporters are accordingly advised to check with the national authorities (see Annex X of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999) that it is still approved.

— Exporters can obtain further information on any agency from the national authority which approved it.
