prospection, exploration and production of hydrocarbons

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 100/09)

In accordance with Article 10 of Directive 94/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30
May 1994 on the conditions for granting and using authorisations for the prospection, exploration and
production of hydrocarbons (1), the Republic of Cyprus notifies the European Commission that the only
Competent Authority is the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Cyprus.

Without prejudice to the application of the provisions regarding national security, of Article 2(2) of Directive
94/22/EC, the Republic of Cyprus hereby notifies all interested persons that the criteria, which shall be used
when granting authorisations for the prospection, exploration and production of hydrocarbons, are:

(a) the technical and financial ability of the applicants;

(b) the ways in which the applicant intends to carry out the activities that are specified in the licence;

(c) the financial consideration that the applicant is offering in order to obtain the licence; and,

(d) any lack of efficiency and responsibility that the applicant has shown under any previous licence or

authorisation of any form in any country of the world.

If, following evaluation under the above criteria, two or more applications have equal merit, the proposals
of the applicants regarding the protection of public safety, public health, security of transport, protection of
the environment, protection of biological resources and of national treasures possessing artistic, historic or
archaeological value, safety of installations and workers and planned management of hydrocarbon resources,
shall be taken into account.

In accordance with Article 5(2) of Directive 94/22/EC, information on the conditions and requirements
concerning the exercise or termination of the activity, which apply to each type of authorisations, is given in
a Model Production Sharing Contract, available to all interested persons, upon request addressed to the
