Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 requires that quantitative limits be determined and quotas allocated to producers and importers for 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007 in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2) for the import of the substances listed under Groups I to IX of Annex I to this Notice (3). Quotas shall be allocated for: a. Methyl bromide, for Quarantine and Pre-Shipment (QPS) uses as defined by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol; and to users for critical uses, in accordance with Decisions IX/6, Ex.I/3, Ex.I/4 and any other relevant criteria agreed by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and Article 3(2)(ii) of the Regulation; both QPS and critical uses approved by the Commission, pursuant to Article 18 of the Regulation; b. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); c. Essential uses in accordance with the criteria set out in Decisions IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and Article 3(1) of the Regulation; and as approved by the Commission, pursuant to Article 18 of the Regulation. A separate notice regarding Essential Uses has been published; d. Feedstock uses, as controlled substances transformed in a process in which it is entirely converted from its original composition; e. Process agents, as controlled substances used as chemical processing agents in existing installations, where emissions are insignificant; f. Destruction, as controlled substances that are to be destroyed by a technology approved by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol which results in the permanent transformation, or decomposition of all or a significant portion of the substance. The quantitative limit, which producers and importers may place on the market and/or use for their own account within the European Community in 2007, is calculated: — For methyl bromide for QPS use from 1996-1998 (average) according to Article 4(2)(iii); — According to Article 4(4), the placing on the market and use of methyl bromide is permitted to meet the licensed requests for critical uses of those users identified as laid down in Article 3(2). Allocations of methyl bromide for critical uses are made to authorised fumigators who may then request an importer/producer to supply the amount of methyl bromide authorised. No quotas of methyl bromide for critical uses will be allocated directly to importers/producers; — For HCFCs according to Article 4(3)(i).

Commission opinion of 7 November 2006 concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the Georges Besse II facility on the Tricastin site in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2006/C 271/03)

(Only the French text is authentic)

On 6 March 2006, the European Commission received from the Government of France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the Georges Besse II facility.

On the basis of the General Data, and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the plant and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this case Italy, is approximately 175 km.

2. During normal operation, discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States that is significant from the point of view of health.

3. Solid radioactive waste from the production operations will be stored or disposed of at approved sites in France.

4. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents resulting from an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population in other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form from the operation of the Georges Besse II facility, at the Tricastin site in France, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not liable to result in radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

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

(2006/C 287/11)

Request made by 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).

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 request was published in OJ C 270 of 7 November 2006. The initial period expires on 25 January 2007.

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

The final period will therefore expire on 26 February 2006.
