1999/798/EC: Commission Decision of 8 July 1999 concerning the Danish application 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) 1551/8) (Only the Danish text is authentic)

• CELEX: Directive 96/92/EC
• Articles: 3

Article 1

The proposed transitional regime relates to commitments undertaken by Danish electricity undertakings regarding take-or-pay gas contracts, closures of power plants and pension obligations as notified by the Danish Government in its letter of 19 February 1998.

Article 2

The transitional regime notified by the Danish Government contains no measures which would constitute derogations from Chapter IV, VI or VII of Directive 96/92/EC. Article 24 of the Directive is therefore not applicable to the transitional regime notified by the Danish Government.

Article 3

This decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.
