Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC — Extension
of the period

Request made on behalf of a Member State

(2005/C 325/02)

On 8 November 2005 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 procure-
ment procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1).

This request, which comes from the United Kingdom, concerns the production of electricity in that
country, with the exception of Northern Ireland (the request therefore concerns the production of electri-
city in England, Scotland and Wales). The request was published in OJ C 305/19 of 2.12.2005. The initial
period expires on 9 February 2006.

Given that the Commission services 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 allowed to the Commission
to take a decision on this request is extended by one month.

The final period will therefore expire on 10 March 2006.

On 14 December2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1)
by which the undertakings Flaga GmbH (‘Flaga’, Austria) controlled by Eastfield International Holdings, Inc.
and Progas GmbH & Co KG (‘Progas’, Germany) controlled by Familie Julius Thyssen Beteiligungsge-
sellschaft mbH acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of a
newly created company constituting a joint venture (‘JV’) by way of purchase of shares. In a related transac-
tion, Flaga acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of
the undertaking Progas Flüssiggas HandelsGmbH (‘Progas Austria’, Austria) controlled by Progas by way of
purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Flaga: wholesale and retail sales and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas,

— for Progas: wholesale and retail sales and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas,

— for JV: wholesale and retail sales and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas,

— for Progas Austria: wholesale and retail sales and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas in Austria.

operation to the Commission.
