Notice concerning a request in accordance with Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC
Request from a contracting entity

The request, from Österreichische Post AG, concerns postal services and other services as referred to in Article 6(2)(b) and (c) of Directive 2004/17/EC in Austria.

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 January 2014.
This period may be extended by three months. Any such extension must be published.
According to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning postal services and other services in Austria before the expiry of the period opened in respect of this request shall not be considered as new procedures and shall be treated in the context of this request.
