Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC — Request made by a contracting entity

Subjects: Portugal, award of contract, hydrocarbon, mineral prospecting, petroleum exploration

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC
Request made by a contracting entity
(2015/C 287/08)
On 28 July 2015, the Commission received a request from ENI Portugal BV pursuant to Article 35(1) of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC (1).
Until repealed (2), Directive 2004/17/EC applies to the award of contracts for the pursuit of, i.a., exploration for oil and gas, unless this activity is exempted pursuant to Article 30 of that Directive. From a procedural point of view, however, the provisions of the Directive 2014/25/EU (3) apply to requests for exemption, as the material conditions for granting an exemption remain unchanged as to substance.
This request concerns exploration for oil and gas in Portugal. Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC Directive provides that the later Directive is not applicable when the relevant activity is directly exposed to competition 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 EU competition rules.
In case an exemption would be granted, its effect would expire on the date of transposition of Directive 2014/25/EU into national legislation or, at the latest, when Directive 2004/17/EC is repealed, given that the activity of exploration for oil and gas will no longer be covered by the provisions of Directive 2014/25/EU; hence no exemption will be needed.
Pursuant to letter (a) of first paragraph, of point 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission is allowed a period of 90 working days to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 2 December 2015.


(1)  OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 243.

(2)  With effect from 18 April 2016.

(3)  OJ L 134, 30.4.2004, p. 1. With respect to the procedure, Directive 2014/25/EU is binding upon the Commission as of 18 April 2014.

Action brought on 1 September 2015 — Almaz-Antey/Council
(Case T-515/15)
(2015/C 371/34)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: OAO Concern PVO Almaz-Antey (Moscow, Russia) (represented by: C. Stumpf and A. Haak, lawyers)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/971 of 22 June 2015 amending Decision 2014/512/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (OJ 2015 L 157, p. 50), insofar as the contested decision applies to the applicant, and










—


order the defendant to pay the applicant’s costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on six pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Council’s decision infringes the principle of proportionality.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Council infringed, without justification or proportion, the applicant’s fundamental rights, namely the respect of the rights of the defence and the right to effective judicial protection.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Council failed to give adequate or sufficient reasons for including the applicant in the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the Council failed to establish evidence that the applicant is involved in the destabilisation of Ukraine or has any influence regarding the successful implementation of the Minsk Agreements.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the Council has manifestly erred in considering that any of the criteria for listing in the contested measure were fulfilled in the applicant’s case.










6.


Sixth plea in law, alleging that in consequence of the annulment of Council Decision 2015/971/CFSP, Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 lacks a sufficient legal basis which means that the listing of the applicant in Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 by virtue of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 826/2014 will no longer have any effect.
