The Decision explains why TP's arguments are not acceptable. The case file includes solid evidence of TP's exclusionary conduct. Contemporaneous internal documents of TP confirm that TP's strategy was designed to impede the access of AOs to TP's network. The incumbent had a lot of time to prepare its internal resources and IT systems for upcoming access obligations (imposed in 2005 for LLU and 2006 for BSA). TP has been aware of these obligations at least since 2003, when Polish telecommunication law identified TP as a SMP (significant market power) operator. The signature of the agreement with UKE in October 2009 and the improvement in the treatment of AOs that followed prove that TP could have applied effective access conditions earlier.

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

Request from a contracting entity

2011/C 337/06

On 26 October 2011, the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 30(5) 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 was 27 October 2011.

This request, from the Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. (Federal Association of the Energy and Water Industry) on behalf of the contracting entities in that sector, concerns electricity production and wholesale in Germany.

Article 30 provides that the Directive does not apply where the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not limited. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules.

The Commission has a period of three months, as from the working day referred to above, within which to take a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 27 January 2012. This period may be extended by three months. Notice of any such extension must be published.

Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning electricity production and wholesale in Germany, submitted before the period opened for this request expires, will not be considered as new procedures and will be dealt with as part of this request.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China: change of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2011/C 346/04

Imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008 of 1 December 2008 (1).

Anhui BBCA Biochemical Co. Ltd, a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Union of citric acid are subject to an anti-dumping duty of 35,7 % imposed pursuant to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008, has informed the Commission that on 26 April 2011, it has changed its name to ‘COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd’.

The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous name ‘Anhui BBCA Biochemical Co., Ltd’.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008. Therefore, the reference, in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008 to:

Anhui BBCA Biochemical Co., Ltd

should be read as:

COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd.

The TARIC additional code A874 previously attributed to Anhui BBCA Biochemical Co., Ltd — No 73, Daqing Road, Bengbu City 233010, Anhui Province, PRC shall apply to COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd — No 73, Daqing Road, Bengbu City 233010, Anhui Province, PRC.

Notice regarding the adaptation in line with inflation of certain amounts laid down in the life and non-life insurance directives

2011/C 365/06

In accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2002/83/EC (1) concerning life assurance, the amount laid down in euros in Article 29(2) was reviewed in 2011 in order to take account of changes in the European index of consumer prices comprising all Member States, as published by Eurostat. As a result of the review, the amount laid down in euros is increased from EUR 3 500 000 to EUR 3 700 000. The Commission Services have informed the European Parliament and the Council of the review and the adapted amount.

In accordance with Article 17a of Directive 73/239/EEC (2) on the coordination of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the taking-up and pursuit of the business of direct insurance other than life assurance, as amended by Directive 2002/13/EC (3), the amounts laid down in euros in Article 16(a)(3) and (4) and Article 17(2) were reviewed in 2011 in order to take account of changes in the European index of consumer prices comprising all Member States, as published by Eurostat. As a result of the review, the amount laid down in euros in Article 16(a)(3) is increased from EUR 57 500 000 to EUR 61 300 000. The amount laid down in euros in Article 16(a)(4) is increased from EUR 40 300 000 to EUR 42 900 000. The amounts laid down in euros in Article 17(2) are increased from EUR 2 300 000 to EUR 2 500 000 and from EUR 3 500 000 to EUR 3 700 000 respectively.

Notice concerning a request under Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC — Withdrawal

Request from a contracting entity

2012/C 11/07

On 19 July 2011, the Commission received a request under Article 30(5) 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).

This request from RWE Gas Storage, s.r.o. is in relation to gas storage in the Czech Republic. It was published in OJ C 228, 3.8.2011, p. 9. The initial deadline was 20 October 2011. This was extended to 20 January 2012 and the extension was published in OJ C 301, 12.10.2011, p. 12.

On 21 December 2011, the applicant withdrew the request, which is to be considered null and void. There is therefore no reason to decide whether Article 30(1) applies to these sectors in the Czech Republic. Directive 2004/17/EC therefore continues to apply when contracting entities award contracts concerning gas storage in the Czech Republic and when they organise competitive tendering for the pursuit of such an activity in this geographical area.

Initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 17(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 with respect to the effective implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in Bolivia

2012/C 81/05

On 19 March 2012, the Commission adopted the Implementing Decision providing for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 17(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 with respect to the effective implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in Bolivia (1). The investigation shall establish whether the denunciation of that Convention, which took effect for Bolivia on 1 January 2012, justifies a temporary withdrawal of the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance for products originating in Bolivia.

Article 15(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 of 22 July 2008 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (2) provides for the temporary withdrawal of the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance, in particular if the national legislation of a beneficiary country no longer incorporates conventions referred to in Annex III which have been ratified in fulfilment of the requirements related to granting the special incentive arrangement or if that legislation is not effectively implemented.

Under Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 732/2008, when the Commission has received information and considers that there are sufficient grounds for an investigation that may justify temporary withdrawal, it may decide to initiate an investigation.

The Commission has received information that, on 29 June 2011, the Government of Bolivia deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations an instrument of denunciation of the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. The denunciation took effect for Bolivia on 1 January 2012.

The UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs is listed in Annex III, Part B, point 24 of Regulation (EC) No 732/2008. The ratification and effective implementation of this Convention was therefore one of the criteria that Bolivia was required to meet before it was included in the list of beneficiaries of the special incentive arrangement for good governance and sustainable development.

The Commission found that it is necessary to analyse the legal effects of the denunciation of this Convention to determine whether they justify a temporary withdrawal of the special incentive arrangement.

Interested parties are invited to send any relevant information and comments within four months from the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, to the following address:
