Notice of a request concerning the applicability of Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU

Request made by a Contracting Entity

(2022/C 170/04)

On 2 November 2021 the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 4 November 2021.

This request, made by OMV Petrom S.A, concerns activities relating to the production of crude oil and natural gas in Romania.

Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU provides that ‘contracts intended to enable an activity mentioned in Articles 8 to 14 to be carried out shall not be subject to this Directive if the Member State or the contracting entities having introduced the request pursuant to Article 35 can demonstrate that, in the Member State in which it is performed, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted; nor shall design contests that are organised for the pursuit of such an activity in that geographic area be subject to this Directive’. The assessment of direct exposure to competition that can be carried out in the context of Directive 2014/25/EU is without prejudice to the full-fledged application of competition law.

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 initial deadline was 18 March 2022.

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. As agreed by the Commission and OMV Petrom S.A, the period available to the Commission for deciding on this request is hereby set on 30 June 2022.

According to Article 35(5) of Directive 2014/25/EU, further requests concerning the same activities in Romania submitted 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.

(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).
Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

(2022/C 233/08)

Pursuant to Article 9(1), point (a), of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:

On page 405, the following explanatory note is inserted:

‘9405 31 00

and Lighting strings of a kind used for Christmas trees

9405 39 00

These subheadings cover lighting strings/light chains of a kind used for Christmas trees.

The objective characteristics of these articles, such as the length of the chain, the type of lights, the distance between the lamps, the form of the “light-bulbs” (standard or having a connection with the Christmas season), easy handling for putting them on the Christmas tree, indicate that they are intended to be used mainly/principally to decorate a Christmas tree by lighting.

“Light-bulbs” having a connection with Christmas may have the form of snowflakes, stars or icicles or other images of the winter season; a connection based on long-standing traditions is not required.

Examples of products that are to be classified in subheadings 9405 31 00 and 9405 39 00 as “lighting strings of a kind used for Christmas trees”:

A light net consisting of dark green electric cables incorporating 160 clear mini filament lamps (1,5 V/0,5 W), joined together so as to form a net of 320 × 150 cm. The size of the net enables it to be easily placed over a Christmas tree. The colour of the cables and the 19 × 19 cm individual meshes, that allow the net to be pulled inwards over the outer tips of the branches, ensure that, when the lamps are lit, the wires and lamps are concealed while the lights shine through to the outside, providing for a uniform decorative effect. A 55 m long light chain consisting of an electric cable incorporating 240 mini filament lamps (2,5 V/0,25W). The distance between each lamp is 21 cm. The light chain is made for both outdoor and indoor use.

These subheadings exclude lighting strings that are not designed to be mainly used for a Christmas tree and that are intended to be used for various decorative purposes throughout the year, for example, for decorating houses, balconies, wedding party locations, gardens or for decorating smaller items such as a wreath, a flowerpot or a table.

Also, lighting strings with lamps designed as e.g. pumpkins or hearts do not fall under this subheading, because the lamps do not have any connection with Christmas.

Examples of products that are to be classified in subheading 9405 4x as “Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings”:

LED curtain lights in the form of a garland (existing in various lengths), made of two insulated electric cables, with strands of various lengths (30-70 cm long) hanging from it at intervals of approximately 15 cm. The strands are fitted with approximately 200 LED light sources in total. The garland comes with a connection cable and a transformer. Micro LED light chain, of a total length of 240cm, consisting of a metal wire and 40 light sources with a spacing of 5 cm, battery powered.
