Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Elektriciteits Produktiemaatschappij Zuid-Nederland EPZ NV

Defendant: Bestuur van de Nederlandse Emissieautoriteit

Operative part of the judgment







1.


A fuel storage site of a coal-fired power plant such as that at issue in the main proceedings and as described by the referring court is part of an ‘installation’ within the meaning of Article 3(e) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Directive 96/61/EC, as amended by Decision No 1359/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013.










2.


The first subparagraph of Article 27(2) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2014 of 4 March 2014, must be interpreted as meaning that coal lost as a result of the process by which it naturally self-heats while in storage on a site that is part of an installation within the meaning of Article 3(e) of Directive 2003/87 cannot be regarded as coal exported from that installation.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU
Request made by a Contracting Entity
(2016/C 205/10)
On 21 March 2016 the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement procedures by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 22 March 2016.
This request, from the Federal Association of the Energy and Water Industry (BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V.) on behalf of the contracting entities in that sector, concerns certain activities in the market for retail of electricity and gas in Germany.
Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU 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 2014/25/EU and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules or other fields of EU policies.
Pursuant to letter (a) of first paragraph, of point 1 of Annex IV to 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 4 August 2016.
