Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

Request from a contracting entity

2011/C 200/07

On 24 June 2011, the Commission received a request under Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 27 June 2011.

This request, made by Magyar Posta, concerns certain financial services (cf. fourth indent of Article 6(2)(c) of Directive 2004/17/EC) in Hungary. Article 30 provides that the Directive does not apply where the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not limited. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules.

The Commission has a period of three months, as from the working day referred to above, within which to take a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 27 September 2011.

This period may be extended by three months. Notice of any such extension must be published.

Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning certain financial services in Hungary, submitted before the period opened for this request expires, will not be regarded as subject to new procedures and will be dealt with as part of this request.
