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

Request made by a Member State

2009/C 168/08

On 8 July 2009 the Commission received a request in accordance with 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). The first working day following receipt of the request is 9 July 2009.

This request, made by the Italian Republic, concerns certain financial services (cf: fourth indent of Article 6(2)(c) of Directive 2004/17/EC) in that country. 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 to take a decision on this request, starting on the working day referred to above. The period therefore ends on 9 October 2009.

The provisions of the third subparagraph of the abovementioned paragraph 4 are not applicable. Consequently, the period allowed to the Commission may be extended by three months. Any such extension must be published.

Notice concerning a request under Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

Request from a contracting entity

2009/C 226/08

On 10 September 2009 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). The first working day following receipt of the request is 11 September 2009.

The request, from Österreichische Post AG, concerns postal services and other services (see Article 6(2)(b) and (c) of Directive 2004/17/EC) in Austria. The above-mentioned Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC is not applicable when the activity in question 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.

The Commission has a period of three months to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 11 December 2009.

This period may be extended by three months. Any such extension must be published.

Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning postal services and other services in Austria before the expiry of the period opened in respect of this request will not be considered as new procedures and will be treated in the context of this request.

During the interim period, i.e. the period between the notification of the commitment decision and the date on which the bidding zones become operative, SvK commits to manage any congestion that it would anticipate in the Swedish transmission system, with the exception of the West Coast Corridor, by taking into account regulating resources suitable for countertrade to address congestion. In practice, in the planning phase, once it has anticipated a congestion and thus identified a corresponding curtailment need (MW), SvK commits to identify all regulating resources suitable for countertrade which it can expect to be available in the operational phase to address such congestion. SvK will subsequently rank up these resources in merit order and select the cheaper ones which add up to the amount of curtailment identified. Out of these selected resources SvK will select further those located in Sweden and add them up to obtain an amount (MW). SvK commits to deduce this amount from the curtailment need initially anticipated. If as a result of this deduction, there still remains an amount of curtailment, SvK commits to apply this reduced curtailment amount on relevant interconnector trading capacities. In the operational phase, SvK commits to use any available regulating resource suitable to address congestion in order to guarantee the interconnector trading capacities that it will have given to the market. The actual countertrade volume needed may be larger or smaller than the expected volume identified in the planning phase.
