The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new standard. Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected.

They may provide that emergency calls may be made without the SIM. “Mobile phones” may also have other features such as sending and receiving SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages; emails; packet switching for access to the Internet; sending and receiving positioning signals; navigating, routing, maps, instant messaging, VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol); PDA (Personal Digital Assistant); gaming; receiving radio or television signals; capturing, recording and reproducing sound and images. Irrespective of such additional features, the mobile telephony function is generally the principal function of mobile phones that meet all the above listed characteristics. This is the case, for example, when the telephony function takes precedence over all other functions including when incoming calls are normally notified to the user regardless of secondary functions used.’

Several qualitative elements indicate in this case that the critical price increase by Uster that would make a total input foreclosure profitable for Itema is likely to be large. First, sensor prices represent a small share of the total price of a winder (approximately [10-20] %). Second, the percentage margins are relatively small downstream and much higher upstream, which, all other things being equal, makes the gain of downstream winders less likely to compensate for upstream losses than if in a situation where downstream margins are high and upstream margins are small. Third, the critical price increase depends on the extent to which Itema's competitors would pass through changes in their costs into their final price. In considering this factor, it is necessary to take into account that an increase in sensor costs for Murata and/or Schlafhorst is not an industry-wide cost change since Itema would not in any case be faced with a cost increase. In fact, there are strong indications that Itema would decrease its prices to reflect its lower marginal costs. To continue competing with Itema, downstream competitors are therefore unlikely to pass the entirety of their cost increase, which further limits the downstream effects of an input foreclosure scenario.

Pursuant to the second sentence of Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (2), the quantities that were not applied for are to be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod, from 1 January to 31 March 2010, and are set out in the Annex to this notice.

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

Request made by a Member State

2009/C 238/09

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).

This request, made by the Italian Republic, concerns certain financial services (cf: the fourth indent of Article 6(2)(c) of Directive 2004/17/EC) in that country. The request was published in OJ C 168, 21.7.2009, p. 19. The initial deadline was 9 October 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 9 January 2010.
