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 33 of 5 February 2014, p. 5)

(2015/C 8/06)

1. GENERAL

Under Article 17(1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 of 7 July 2009 on laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (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 of 16 September 2010 laying down detailed rules pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards requirements for the granting of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport (2).

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 Union, irrespective of the Member State in which the agency issuing the certificate is based.

For the information of Union 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 2014.

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 to 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.

(1) OJ L 186, 17.7.2009, p. 1.

(2) OJ L 245, 17.9.2010, p. 16.
(9)

For those reasons, the Commission anticipates a lack of sufficient private capacity to cover all economically justifiable risks. At the same time, in particular if there is greater clarity regarding the future political and economic policies of Greece, it is likely that private insurers will resume increasing their exposure, as they did in the first nine months of 2014. Therefore, a 12-month prolongation of the removal of Greece from the list of marketable countries could be excessive. In those circumstances, the Commission has decided to prolong the removal of Greece from the list of marketable risks countries until 30 June 2015.

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6.). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basispoints has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basispoints to the base rate.

Modified rates are indicated in bold.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

Request made by a contracting entity

(2015/C 269/07)

On 28 July 2015 the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 30 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 (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 29 July 2015.

Until repealed (2), Directive 2004/17/EC applies to the award of contracts for the pursuit of, i. a., exploration for oil and gas, unless this activity is exempted pursuant to Article 30 of that Directive. From a procedural point of view, however, the provisions of the Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) apply to requests for exemption, as the material conditions for granting an exemption remain unchanged as to substance.

This request, made by ENI Portugal BV, concerns exploration for oil and gas in Portugal. Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC Directive provides that the later Directive is not applicable when the relevant activity 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.

In case an exemption would be granted, its effect would expire on the date of transposition of Directive 2014/25/EC into national legislation or, at the latest, when Directive 2004/17/EC is repealed, given that the activity of exploration for oil and gas will no longer be covered by the provisions of Directive 2014/25/EU; hence no exemption will be needed.

Pursuant to letter (a) of first paragraph, of point 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2014/25/EU, 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 period therefore expires on 2 December 2015.
