On 3 July 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to

COMMISSION

Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council

Request from a Member State

(2007/C 159/10)

On 29 June 2007 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). The first
working day following receipt of the request is 2 July 2007.

This request, made on behalf of the Kingdom of Sweden, concerns the production and sale of electricity in
that country. The above-mentioned Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC is not applicable when
the relevant activity is directly exposed to competition in markets to which access is not restricted. 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 is allowed 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 2 October 2007.

The provisions of the third subparagraph of the above-mentioned paragraph 4 are applicable. Consequently,
the period allowed to the Commission may be extended by one month. Any such extension must be
published.
