C 429/9





Notice concerning a request under Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU — Withdrawal
Request from a Member State
(2014/C 429/09)
On 15 May 2014 the Commission received a request under Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC (1).
This request, made by the Republic of Poland, concerns the production and wholesale of electricity produced from conventional sources in that country. The relevant notice was published on page 14 of OJ C 186 on 18 June 2014. The deadline for adoption of the relevant Commission Decision was prolonged twice (2) and the final deadline was 31 December 2014.
On 18 November 2014, the applicant withdrew the request, which is to be considered null and void. There is consequently, no reason to decide whether Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU applies to the sectors concerned in the Republic of Poland. Directive 2014/25/EU therefore continues to apply when contracting entities award contracts concerning production and wholesale of electricity in the Republic of Poland and when they organise design contests for the pursuit of such activities in that geographical area.
