Annotated presentation of regulated markets and national provisions implementing relevant requirements of ISD (93/22)

(2005/C 112/02)

Article 16 of the Investment Services Directive 93/22 (OJ L 141 of 11.6.1993) authorises each Member State to confer the status of ‘regulated market’ on those markets constituted on its territory and which comply with its regulations.

Article 1.13 of Directive 93/22 defines a ‘regulated market’ as a market for the financial instruments listed in section B of the annex to the Investment Services Directive, which:

— is recognised as such by its home Member State (where home Member State is determined in accordance with Article 1(6)c of ISD);

— functions regularly;

— is characterised by the fact that regulations issued or approved by the competent authorities define the conditions for the operation of the market, the conditions for the operation of the market, the conditions for access to the market and where Directive 79/279 [on admission to official listing] is applicable, the conditions governing admission to listing imposed in that Directive and, where that Directive is not applicable, the conditions that must be satisfied by a financial instrument before it can effectively be dealt in on the market;

— complies with all the reporting and transparency requirements laid down pursuant to Articles 20 and 21 [of the ISD].

Article 16 of Directive 93/22 requires that each Member State maintain an updated list of regulated markets authorised by it. This information should be communicated to other Member States and the Commission. Under the same article, the Commission is required to publish a list of regulated markets notified to it on a yearly basis. The present list has been compiled pursuant to this requirement.

The attached list indicates the title of the individual markets which are recognised by national competent authorities as complying with the definition of ‘regulated market’. In addition, it indicates the entity responsible for managing these markets and the competent authority responsible for issuing or approving the rules of the market.

As a result of reduced entry barriers and specialisation in trading segments, the list of ‘regulated markets’ is subject to greater turnover. Consequently, the European Commission will, in addition to yearly publication of a list in the Official Journal, maintain an updated version of this list on its official website [http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/en/finances/mobil/isd/]. This list will be updated regularly on the basis of information communicated by national authorities. The latter are called upon to continue to advise the Commission of any additions to or deletions from the list of regulated markets for which it is the home Member State.

STATE AID

(Articles 87 to 89 of the Treaty establishing the European Community)

Communication from the Commission, pursuant to Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty, to the other Member States and other interested parties

State aid C 31/2002 (ex N 149/2000) — Transitional arrangements for the electricity market — Belgium

(2005/C 175/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

By the following letter, dated 27 April 2005, the Commission informed Belgium of its decision to terminate the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.

‘The Belgian authorities notified the Transitional arrangements for the electricity market to the Commission under Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty by letter dated 3 March 2000, registered in the Commission on 15 March 2000.

The Commission asked the Belgian authorities for further information about the measure on several occasions. The Belgian authorities replied to these questions, the last time by letter dated 26 February 2002, registered in the Commission on 28 February 2002.

By letter sent to the Belgian authorities on 24 April 2002 the Commission initiated the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in order to examine in more detail the part of the Transitional arrangements for the electricity market dealing with the pensions of electricity industry workers. The Commission approved the two other parts of the arrangements in the same decision. The decision was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 18 September 2002 (1).

By letter dated 18 February 2005, registered in the Commission on 23 February 2005, the Belgian authorities withdrew their notification of the part of the Transitional arrangements for the electricity market dealing with the pensions of electricity industry workers. They stated that the undertakings would continue to be responsible for funding these workers' pensions.

The Commission would point out that, under Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty (2), the Member State concerned may withdraw its notification in due time before the Commission has taken a decision about the aid. In cases where it has already initiated the formal investigation procedure, the Commission closes that procedure.

Consequently, the Commission has decided to close the formal investigation procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid in question, having noted that Belgium has withdrawn the notification.’

Title of aid scheme: Recruitment of disadvantaged workers

‘IN LA’ project — Jobs for the long-term unemployed in the Province of Naples.

Under this project firms are given a grant of EUR 5 164,66 for each long-term unemployed person they recruit on a permanent basis or fixed-term contract of at least twelve months' duration, in the tourism and agriculture sectors

Legal basis: L. 23.12.1996, n. 662, art. 2 comma 203, lett. b)

Intesa Istituzionale di programma del 16.9.2003

D. D. 19 giugno 2003

Annual expenditure planned: EUR 15 494 000

Maximum aid intensity under: Article 5: recruitment of disadvantaged workers

The maximum special grant for each beneficiary firm is 50 % of the wage costs calculated over a period of one year following recruitment. Both figures are gross, i.e. before taxes. Under Article 8(4) the special grant may be cumulated with other national or Community incentives applicable for the same recruitment, given that these are measures for getting the long-term unemployed back into work; in any case the cumulation of aid cannot exceed the ceilings laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2204/2002, therefore the gross aid intensity resulting from the cumulation cannot exceed 100 % of the wage costs over any period for which the worker or workers are employed.

This means that, in addition to the grant of EUR 5 164,66, for every person recruited on a permanent basis firms are also entitled to the incentives for recruitment of long-term unemployed persons on a permanent full-time or part-time basis under Article 8(9) of Law No 407/90 (100 % exemption from employer's social security contributions for 36 months in the case of firms operating in the Mezzogiorno and craft firms; 50 % exemption from the same contributions for the same period in the case of private-sector employers such as professional practices, foundations, associations, etc. in the Mezzogiorno, and also firms in North Central Italy).

The incentives under Article 8(9) of Law No 407/90 do not apply to recruitment in the tourist industry or in agriculture if the contract is for a fixed term, even if for 12 months or more
