Commission communication in the framework of the implementation of the Council Directive 88/378/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the safety of toys

(Text with EEA relevance)

(Publication of titles and references of harmonised standards under the directive)

(2007/C 201/04)

ESO (1) Reference and title of the harmonised standard (and reference document) Reference of superseded standard Date of cessation of presumption of conformity of superseded standard (Note 1) CEN EN 71-2:2006 Safety of toys — Flammability EN 71-2:2003 31.7.2006 CEN EN 71-5:1993 Safety of toys — Part 5: Chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets — EN 71-5:1993/A1:2006 Note 3 31.7.2006

Note 1 Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 3 In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note:

— Any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to the Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) amended by the Directive 98/48/EC (3).

— Publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available in all the Community languages.

— This list replaces all the previous lists published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Commission ensures the updating of this list.

Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council — Deadline extension

Request from a Member State

(2008/C 40/09)

On 17 January 2008, the Commission received a request under Article 30(4) 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, made by the Italian Republic, concerns express courier services in that country. The request was published in OJ C 29 of 1 February 2008, p. 18. The initial deadline was 18 April 2008.

Given that the Commission needs to obtain and examine further information, and in compliance with the provisions laid down in the third sentence of Article 30(6), the period in which the Commission must take a decision on this request is extended by one month.

The final deadline is therefore 18 May 2008.
