Parliament and of the Council — Extension of the period

Request made on behalf of a Member State

(2007/C 202/05)

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).

This request, which comes from the Kingdom of Sweden, concerns the production and sale of electricity in
that country. The request was published in OJ C 159, 12.7.2007, p. 17. The initial period expires on
2 October 2007.

Given that the Commission departments 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 within which the Commis-
sion must take a decision on this request is extended by one month.

The final period will therefore expire on 2 November 2007.
