Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

(2017/C 45/05)

Pursuant to the second indent of Article 9(1)(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 379, ‘9401 Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof’, the following text is inserted:

‘This heading includes sets of a table and chairs, where the table is designed for other purposes than dining while sitting on the seats (chairs, stools, deck-chairs, armchairs, couches etc.). Generally, these tables are too small for dining and they are inferior to the seats e.g. in size. Consequently, the seats give the set its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b). (See also the CN Explanatory Notes to heading 9403) Examples of sets falling under heading 9401: ’.

On page 379, ‘9403 Other furniture and parts thereof’, the following text is inserted after the existing text:

‘This heading includes sets of table and chairs where the table is designed for dining (‘dining tables’) while sitting on the seats (chairs, stools, deck-chairs, armchairs, couches etc.). These sets are classified within the meaning of GIR 3(c), because neither the table nor the seats can be considered more essential for the set within the meaning of GIR 3(b). (See also the HS Classification Opinion to subheading 9403 60 and the CN Explanatory Notes to heading 9401). Examples of sets falling under heading 9403: ’.

However, if they have the character of toys or recreational models, they are classified under heading 9503. See the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature to that heading.’

On page 381:

Multi-rotor helicopters (so-called “drones”) of different sizes. They can be distinguished from articles of heading 8802 for example by reference to their low weight, the limited height, distance or time they can fly, their maximum speed, their inability to fly autonomously or the inability to carry a load/cargo. They are remotely controlled in an easy way and are not equipped with sophisticated electronic apparatus (e.g. Global Positioning Systems, night flight requirements/nocturnal visibility).’

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

(2017/C 212/12)

On 30 January 2017 the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement 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 was 31 January 2017 and the initial period available to the Commission for deciding on this request was of 105 working days.

This request, made by Eneco BV and NV Nuon Energy, concerns retail of electricity and gas in the Netherlands. The relevant notice was published on page 7 of OJ C 85 of 18 March 2017. The initial deadline was 6 July 2017.

Pursuant to Annex IV, point 2, of Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission may require the Member State or the contracting entity concerned or the competent independent national authority or any other competent national authority to provide all necessary information or to supplement or clarify information given within an appropriate time limit. On 24 March 2017 the Commission asked the Dutch authorities to provide additional information by 17 April 2017 at the latest.

In the event of late or incomplete answers, the initial deadline shall be suspended for the period between the expiry of the time limit set in the request for information, and the receipt of the complete and correct information.

The final deadline will therefore expire after 53 working days after the receipt of the complete and correct information.
