Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

Request from a contracting entity

2013/C 303/13

On 1 October 2013, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 30(5) 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. The first working day following receipt of the request is 2 October 2013.

The request, from Österreichische Post AG, concerns postal services and other services as referred to in Article 6(2)(b) and (c) of Directive 2004/17/EC in Austria. The abovementioned Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC is not applicable when the activity in question 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 2 January 2014.

This period may be extended by three months. Any such extension must be published.

According to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning postal services and other services in Austria 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.

List of international control and supervisory agencies (hereafter referred to as ‘supervisory agencies’) approved by the Member States under Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 612/2009

(This list replaces the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union C 368 of 28 November 2012, p. 12)

2014/C 33/05

1. GENERAL

Under Article 17 (1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 (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 18 to 23 of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 or an official agency of the Member State shall be responsible for carrying out checks provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 817/2010 (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 December 2013.

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 (cfr Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 ) that it is still approved.

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

DB submitted initial commitments on 23 July 2013 and a revised commitment proposal on 21 November 2013 to meet the Commission's competition concerns. The key elements of the commitments are as follows: — On 1 July 2014, DB Energie will introduce a new pricing system for traction current with separate supply prices for electricity and separate grid access fees, the latter as approved by the competent German regulatory authority (Bundesnetzagentur). On the same day, DB Energie will offer access to its traction current network for third party energy providers so that they can supply traction current to railway undertakings, in competition to DB Energie. — In this new system, DB Energie will charge the same price for electricity to all railway undertakings without volume- or duration-based discounts. — DB Energie will pay to railway undertakings in Germany not belonging to the DB Group a one-time payment of 4 % of their yearly traction current invoice, based on the period of one year before the entry into force of the new pricing system. — DB will provide each year the necessary data for the Commission to assess if the price levels for traction current and transport services charged by the DB Group could lead to a margin squeeze. DB Energie will also notify to the Commission in advance any changes to its electricity price. — The commitments will last for five years after the notification of the Commission's decision or until 25 % of traction current volumes purchased by competitors of the DB Group are sourced from third party electricity providers. — DB will appoint a trustee to monitor its compliance with the commitments.
