FRANCE

Replacement of the information published in OJ C 72 of 10.3.2012

The reference amount for adequate means of subsistence for the planned duration of an alien’s stay or for his transit via France to a destination in a third country is equal to the amount of the guaranteed minimum wage in France (SMIC) calculated daily on the basis of the rate fixed on 1 January of the current year.

This amount is regularly reassessed on the basis of the French cost of living index:

— automatically whenever the retail price index rises by more than 2 %,

— by a government decision — after consultation with the national commission for collective bargaining — to grant a rise higher than the rise in the retail price index.

As of 1 January 2012, the daily amount of the SMIC (minimum wage) is EUR 65,00.

Persons holding proof of accommodation (attestation d’accueil) must possess a minimum amount of money, equivalent to half the SMIC, in order to stay in France. This amount is therefore EUR 32,50 per day.

From 19 June 2014, where no hotel reservation is presented as proof of accommodation, the minimum amount of money per day required to stay in France is EUR 120. Where there is a hotel reservation for part of the stay, the amount required is EUR 65,00 for the period covered by the reservation and EUR 120,00 for the rest of the stay.

Complaint CHAP/2012/03180 — Information about planned closure

(2014/C 272/09)

The European Commission has received a large number of complaints against Decision No 33 of 14 September 2012 of the Bulgarian Energy Regulator (‘the decision’), which sets grid access tariffs only for the electricity produced from renewable energy sources. All complaints were registered under reference CHAP/2012/03180. The acknowledgment of receipt of the complaints was published in OJ C 50, 21.2.2013, p. 10.

The Commission’s services have assessed the information provided by the complainants and contacted the competent Bulgarian authorities in order to address the points raised in the complaints. The Bulgarian authorities have thoroughly replied to our questions.

In 2012 a considerable number of renewable energy investors contested the regulator’s decision in Bulgarian national courts. On 13 June 2013 a 3-judge panel of the Supreme Administrative Court in Bulgaria repealed the decision. This ruling was later confirmed by a final decision of a 5-judge panel. The Bulgarian authorities have informed the Commission’s services that the decision has been revoked chiefly on account of failure to state reasons or the specific material basis for setting a ‘temporary tariff’ for grid access for producers of electricity from renewable energy sources.

In view of these facts, the Commission’s services consider the matter resolved and intend to close CHAP/2012/03180. Should the complainants have new information that may lead the Commission’s services to reconsider the proposed closure of the file, they are invited to inform the Commission at the latest within four weeks of publication of this notice. In the absence of any such relevant information, the file will be closed.
