1. The European Commission has registered a complaint about the procedure to set up a public-private

company in the City of Valencia, Spain, under No 2006/4524 SG(06)A/4107.

2. It has received several hundred copies of this complaint. It publishes this acknowledgment of receipt in

resources.

complainants will be informed of the results of its investigation and of any follow-up action decided by
the Commission through the same means.

4. The Commission will endeavour to take a decision on the case within twelve months of the complaint's

date of registration (opening of infringement proceedings or closing without further action).

5. The Commission will protect the complainants' rights by not revealing their identity in its eventual
contacts with the authorities of the member state complained of. However, the complainants can
authorise the Commission expressly to reveal their identity in any such contacts, if they so wish.

Publication of a list of measures considered by the Commission as existing aid, within the meaning

Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union.

(2006/C 227/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(1) In 2003 and 2004, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Annex IV, Chapter 3, paragraph
(1)(c) (under Article 22) of the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia,
Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union (‘Accession Treaty’),
new Member States submitted to the Commission those measures that they wished to be regarded as
existing aid within the meaning of Article 88(1) of the EC Treaty but which were not provided for
expressly in the Accession Treaty.

(2) This procedure covered State aid measures to all sectors with the exception of the transport sector and
of agricultural activities linked to the production, processing or marketing of products listed in Annex I
to the EC Treaty, for which separate provisions applied.

(3) The Commission has now published the complete list of measures which it accepted as existing aid
within the meaning of Article 88(1) and under the procedure mentioned in point (1) above, on the
following internet address: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/competition/state_aid/register/.

Measures in the fisheries sector are published on the following internet address: http://ec.europa.eu/fish-
eries/legislation/state_aid_en.htm.

(4) The publication referred to in point (3) covers exclusively those measures which were considered as
existing aid under the interim procedure for existing aid (1). Some measures were accepted by the
Commission as existing aid and already published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2). These
are also included in this publication.

(5) The new Member States concerned were informed about the relevant Commission decisions by means

of letters from the relevant Commissioners.

(1) The following measures are excluded: those on which the Commission opened the formal investigation procedure,
those considered not to be applicable after accession or not entering into effect before accession, those which were
not considered to constitute state aid, those which the Commission considered to be only partially existing aid and
partially not applicable after accession.
