Communication from the Minister for Economic Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 94/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the conditions for granting and using authorisations for the prospection, exploration and production of hydrocarbons
2010/C 73/11
The Minister for Economic Affairs hereby gives notice that an application has been received for authorisation to prospect for hydrocarbons in a segment of block D12 as indicated on the map appended as Annex 3 to the Mining Regulation (Mijnbouwregeling) (Government Gazette (Staatscourant) 2002, No 245). The area in question is to be designated block segment D12b.
With reference to the Directive mentioned in the introduction and Article 15 of the Mining Act (Mijnbouwwet) (Bulletin of Acts and Decrees (Staatsblad) 2002, No 542), the Minister for Economic Affairs hereby invites interested parties to submit a competing application for authorisation to prospect for hydrocarbons in block segment D12b of the Dutch continental shelf.
Block segment D12b is delimited by the parallel arcs between vertex pairs B-C and D-E and passing through vertex F, by the meridian arcs between vertex pairs C-D and E-F, by the great circle between vertex pairs A and B and by the boundary of the Dutch portion of the continental shelf between vertices A and G.
The coordinates of the vertices are as follows:
