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

Request made by a Member State

(2008/C 178/25)

the Commission received a request

On 3 July 2008,
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 4 July 2008.

This request, made by the Czech Republic, concerns electricity production in that country. Article 30
provides that Directive 2004/17/EC is not applicable when the relevant activity is directly exposed to compe-
tition 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 4 October 2008.

The provisions of the third subparagraph of the abovementioned paragraph 4 are not applicable. Conse-
quently, the period allowed to the Commission may be extended by three months. Any such extension must
be published.
