1999/797/EC: Commission Decision of 8 July 1999 concerning the application of the Spanish Government for a transitional regime under Article 24 of Directive 96/92/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity (notified under document number C(1999) 1551/7) (Only the Spanish text is authentic)
The present Decision concerns the application of the Spanish Government for a transitional regime pursuant to Article 24 of Directive 96/92/EC, notified to the Commission on 18 February 1998. This notification concerns:
(a) the "Costes de transición a la competencia", defined in the sixth transitional provision of Spanish Electricity Sector Act No 54/1997 of 27 November 1997,
(b) the "Sistemas insulares y extrapeninsulares", defined in the 15th transitional provision of Spanish Electricity Sector Act No 54/1997 of 27 November 1997.
The transitional regime of the "Costes de transición a la competencia", defined in the sixth transitional provision of Spanish Electricity Sector Act No 54/1997 of 27 November 1997, contains no measures which would constitute derogations from Chapters IV, VI or VII of Directive 96/92/EC, as referred to in Article 24(2) of the Directive. Article 24 of the Directive is therefore not applicable to this part of the transitional regime notified by the Spanish Government.
The transitional regime of the "Sistemas insulares y extrapeninsulares", as notified by the Spanish Government, contains no measures which would constitute derogations from Chapters IV, V, VI or VII of Directive 96/92/EC, as referred to in Article 24(3) of the Directive. Article 24 of the Directive is therefore not applicable to this part of the transitional regime notified by the Spanish Government.
This decision is addressed to Spain.
