Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

(2006/C 270/05)

Request made on behalf of a Member State

On 24 October 2006 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 25 October 2006.

This request, which comes from the United Kingdom, concerns the supply of electricity and gas in that country, with the exception of Northern Ireland (the request therefore concerns the supply of electricity and gas in England, Scotland and Wales). The abovementioned Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC 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.

The Commission is allowed 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 25 January 2007.

The provisions of the third subparagraph of the abovementioned paragraph 4 are applicable. Consequently, the period allowed to the Commission may be extended by one month. Any such extension must be published.

Maximum Cost Per Company

2004: GBP 29 000

Maximum Total funded element

2002: GBP 470 000

2003: GBP 1 410 000

2004: GBP 921 667

2005: GBP 68 333

Notes:

70 projects will be established and implemented on a rolling basis during 2002-2005. Cost per project is GBP 41 000 over 18months duration (although annual cost is approx GBP 29 000 ~ as some aspects are pro-rata and others not). The GBP 41 000 per project is paid in quarterly instalments over the 18month period. Therefore, total expenditure for the overall FUSION scheme of 70 projects varies each year — depending on how many projects have been established on a rolling basis and the number of cumulative projects in any one year.

Total funding element for 70 projects over 4 years = GBP 2 870 000. This represents 60 % of the total project cost with the remaining 40 % attributed by the participating enterprises

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of para-cresol originating in the People's Republic of China

(2006/C 296/06)

By its judgment of 13 July 2006 in case T-413/03, the Court of First Instance of the European Communities annulled Regulation (EC) No 1656/2003 (1) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of para-cresol originating in the People's Republic of China, insofar as it concerns imports into the European Community manufactured by Shandong Reipu Biochemicals Co. Ltd (2).

Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to the above-mentioned regulation on imports into the European Community of para-cresol falling within CN code ex 2907 12 00 manufactured by the above-mentioned company (under TARIC additional code A435), including provisional duties definitively collected in accordance with Article 2 of the regulation, should be reimbursed. The reimbursement should be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with the applicable Community customs legislation.

As a consequence of the judgment of 13 July 2006, the above-mentioned company is no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1656/2003 of 11 September 2003.

(1) OJ L 234, 20.9.2003, p. 1.

(2) The company is listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1656/2003 under the name ‘Shandong Reipu Chemicals Co. Ltd’.
b)

The coins included in this list are considered to fulfil the criteria of Article 26b and therefore will be treated as investment gold in those Member States. As a result their supply is exempt from VAT for the whole of the 2007 calendar year.

Notification of a request under Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

(2006/C 298/07)

Request from a Member State

On 20 November 2006 the Commission received a request under Article 30(4) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The first working day following receipt of the request was 21 November 2006.

The request, from Denmark, concerns mail services relating to parcels in Denmark. Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC stipulates that the Directive shall not apply if the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted. Assessment of these conditions shall be made exclusively under Directive 2004/17/EC and without prejudice to application of the rules on competition.

The Commission has a three-month period from 21 November 2006, i.e. until 21 February 2007, within which to take a decision on this request.

The third subparagraph of Article 30(4) of Directive 2004/17/EC applies. Consequently, the period within which the Commission must take a decision may be extended by one month. Such an extension would be subject to publication.

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 1359:1998 Gas meters — Diaphragm gas meters — EN 1359:1998/A1:2006 CEN EN 12261:2002 Gas meters — Turbine gas meters — EN 12261:2002/A1:2006 CEN EN 12405-1:2005 Gas meters — Conversion devices — Part 1: Volume conversion — EN 12405-1:2005/A1:2006 CEN EN 12480:2002 Gas meters — Rotary displacement gas meters — EN 12480:2002/A1:2006

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 3) 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 (2) of the European Parliament and Council 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.

Communication of the Commission concerning the date of mandatory application of the updated inventory and common nomenclature of ingredients employed in cosmetic products

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 10/07)

Under the terms of Article 6(1), introductory sentence, and 6(1)(g), sixth paragraph, of Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1) (Cosmetics Directive), the ingredients used in cosmetic products must be stated on the containers and packaging of cosmetic products, or on the packaging only, under their common nomenclature referred to in Article 7(2) or, failing this, under one of the nomenclatures set out in Article 5(a)(2), first indent.

To this end, under the terms of Article 5(a)(3) and Article 7(2), the Commission shall draw up a list and adopt a common nomenclature and keep these up to date.

On 8 May 1996 the Commission accordingly adopted Decision 96/335/EC establishing an inventory and a common nomenclature of ingredients employed in cosmetic products (2). The inventory and the nomenclature were to be in use from 1 January 1997.

On 9 February 2006 the Commission adopted Decision 2006/257/EC amending Decision 96/335/EC in order to update the inventory and common nomenclature of ingredients employed in the cosmetic products set out in the Annex to Decision 96/335/EC.

Decision 2006/257/EC was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5 April 2006 (3).

The discussions with the Member States and representatives of the cosmetics industry enabled 1 February 2007 to be set as the economically and technically feasible deadline for the use of the updated inventory and nomenclature. From this date, under the terms of Article 6(1)(g), sixth paragraph, of the Cosmetics Directive, the labelling of cosmetic products placed on the market must comply with the inventory and common nomenclature arising from the update laid down in Decision 2006/257/EC.

In view of the absence of risk to human health, the Commission does not consider it necessary to withdraw cosmetic products placed on the market before 1 February 2007.
