Notice from the Danish Government concerning the abolition of the possibility of successively awarding licences for the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons in specific areas of Denmark
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2022/C 429/07)
With reference to Article 3(3) of Directive 94/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 1994 on the conditions for granting and using authorisations for the prospection, exploration and production of hydrocarbons, it is hereby announced that the procedure for the successive awarding of new licences for exploration and production of hydrocarbons in specific areas of Denmark, initiated by the Notice from the Danish Government in the Official Journal of the European Communities on 19 February 1997 (1), is discontinued.
By Act No 2389 of 14 December 2021 amending the Act on the use of Denmark’s subsoil, which entered into force on 1 January 2022, the Danish Parliament restricted the area in Denmark where licences for the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons can be granted. Therefore, in accordance with Section 5(1) of the Act on the use of Denmark’s subsoil, cf. Consolidation Act No 1533 of 16 December 2019 as amended, licences for the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons may only be granted in an area of the North Sea on the Danish continental shelf west of 6°15'E (Central Graben and adjacent areas).
As a result, any application for a licence to explore and extract hydrocarbons outside the specified area in the territory of Denmark east of 6°15'E will be rejected.
