Form of order sought







—


Declare that, by not taking all necessary measures to comply with the judgment delivered by the Court of Justice on 23 November 2006 in Case C-425/05, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 260(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;










—


Order the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to pay to the Commission the proposed penalty payment of EUR 11 340 for each day of delay in compliance with the judgment of 23 November 2006 in Case C-452/05, running from the date of delivery of the judgment in the present case until the date upon which the judgment in Case C-452/05 has been complied with;










—


Order the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to pay the Commission a daily lump sum of EUR 1 248, running from the date of delivery of the judgment of 23 November 2006 in Case C-452/05 until the date of delivery of the judgment in the present case, or until the date upon which the judgment in Case C-452/05 has been complied with, if it is implemented earlier;










—


Order the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of its action, the Commission argues that, as is clear from examining the information communicated by the Luxembourg authorities, Luxembourg has not, to date, fully complied with the judgment of the Court almost five years after that judgment was delivered. Luxembourg has not complied with the provisions of either Article 5(4) or Article 5(2). Six waste water treatment plants serving agglomerations with a population equivalent of over 10 000 are still not compliant with the requirements laid down by Directive 97/221/EEC (1).

Notice concerning a request under Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC
Request from a contracting entity
2011/C 337/06
On 26 October 2011, the Commission received a request in accordance with 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). The first working day following receipt of the request was 27 October 2011.
This request, from the Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. (Federal Association of the Energy and Water Industry) on behalf of the contracting entities in that sector, concerns electricity production and wholesale in Germany.
Article 30 provides that the Directive does not apply where the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not limited. 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 has a period of three months, as from the working day referred to above, within which to take a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 27 January 2012. This period may be extended by three months. Notice of any such extension must be published.
Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning electricity production and wholesale in Germany, submitted before the period opened for this request expires, will not be considered as new procedures and will be dealt with as part of this request.

Communication from the Commission amending the period of application of the Communication from the Commission — Community framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation
(Text with EEA relevance)
2011/C 337/02
I.   Introduction

The Community framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation (‘the framework’) was adopted in 2005 and was to apply for a period of six years from 29 November 2005. The framework is therefore due to expire on 29 November 2011.
The Commission is currently in the process of preparing a comprehensive review of the State aid rules for the compensation of services of general economic interest. Draft texts of the new package, including a draft for the revision of the framework, were published in September 2011.
In order to allow sufficient time for the consultation process on the new rules, and to avoid legal uncertainty for the interim period between the expiry of the framework and the entry into force of the new package the Commission has decided to extend the period of application of the framework until the entry into force of the new framework.
II.   Amendment to the 2005 framework

The following amendment to the Communication from the Commission — Community framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation applies from 29 November 2011:






—


paragraph 25 is replaced by the following:

‘This framework applies until the date of the entry into force of a new framework on State aid in the form of public service compensation as announced in the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 23 March 2011.’
