These guidelines are issued on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 847/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the negotiation and implementation of air service agreements between Member States and third countries. They should be applied in cases where more than one air carrier wishes to use Danish traffic rights which under a bilateral air service agreement which Denmark has concluded with a third country are limited, in cases in which the scope of these rights does not suffice to satisfy all the wishes of all interested parties to provide traffic services under the agreement. The guidelines should also apply if under the agreement in force only one air carrier can be designated even though several have expressed an interest in being designated.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of polyester staple fibres originating, inter alia, in the Republic of Korea; change of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty

(2009/C 49/04)

Imports of polyester staple fibres originating, inter alia, in the Republic of Korea are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000 (1) as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2005 (2) (‘Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000’).

Saehan Industries Inc., a company located in the Republic of Korea, whose exports to the Community of polyester staple fibres are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of 10,6 % imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000, has informed the Commission that its company name changed on 21 March 2008 to Woongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. The company name change was registered on 1 April 2008 by the competent registration office in the Republic of Korea.

The company has argued that its change of name does not affect its right to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty applied to it under its previous name of Saehan Industries Inc.

The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that this change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000. Therefore, the reference, in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000, to:

Saehan Industries Inc.

should be read as:

Woongjin Chemical Co., Ltd.

The Taric additional code A599 previously attributed to Saehan Industries Inc. shall apply to Woongjin Chemical Co., Ltd.

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

On 26 February 2009, the Commission received a request pursuant to 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 request from Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij B.V. concerns exploration for, or extraction of, oil and gas in the Netherlands. The request was published in OJ C 53 of 6 March 2009, p. 27. The initial deadline was 27 May 2009.

In accordance with the second sentence of Article 30(6), since the Commission needs to obtain and examine additional information, the period within which the Commission must take a decision on this request has been extended by three months.

The final deadline is therefore 27 August 2009.

Extract from the Decision concerning Straumur-Burdaras Investment Bank hf. pursuant to Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reorganisation and winding-up of credit institutions

2009/C 105/05

STRAUMUR-BURDARAS INVESTMENT BANK HF. GRANTED A MORATORIUM

On 19 March 2009 the District Court of Reykjavik, Iceland, granted Straumur-Burdaras Investment Bank hf., Borgartun 25, Reykjavik, Iceland, a moratorium on payments to creditors until 11 June 2009. Applying for the moratorium was a necessary step in order to ensure that all creditors of the Bank are treated fairly and appropriately, in accordance with Icelandic law and EU directives. The moratorium process provides the Bank with appropriate protection from legal action, while retaining a banking licence sufficient to support its assets. The moratorium will also give the Bank the opportunity to continue discussions with the Bank's creditors with the aim of maximising recovery for all stakeholders.

Mr. Hordur Felix Hardarson, Attorney to the Supreme Court of Iceland, has been appointed to act as the assistant in relation to the moratorium. He will work with the Bank’s Resolution Committee, which is appointed by the Icelandic Finance Supervisory Authority, and the Management Committee of the Bank. Whilst in moratorium, the disposal of assets by the Bank is generally prohibited unless it is necessary for its day - to - day operations or to achieve a reorganisation of the Bank’s finances.

Information in relation to Straumur-Burdaras Investment Bank hf. can be found online (http://www.straumur.com).

For further information, please contact the Bank by e-mail (straumur@straumur.com).

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

Request made by a Member State

2009/C 136/12

On 3 June 2009 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). The first working day following receipt of the request is 4 June 2009.

This request, made by the Kingdom of Spain, concerns the production and sale of electricity 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, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 4 September 2009.

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.

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 (OJ L 140, 30.4.2004, p. 1))

2009/C 149/05

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basispoints has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending the implementing Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basispoints to the base rate.
