On 18 October 2010, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1).
That request, from the Italian oil and mining industry association — Assomineraria, on behalf of the contracting entities in the sector, concerns exploration for and extraction of oil and gas in Italy. The request was published in OJ C 290, 27.10.2010, p. 20. The initial period ends on 19 January 2011.
Given that the Commission needs to obtain and analyse additional information and in accordance with the second sentence of Article 30(6), the period granted to the Commission for deciding on the request is hereby extended by three months.
