definition of "Extraterritorial application of public service obligations of third countries"
Dear Legal Service,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
I have been writing down my thesis in European law on the EU chips act. I come across with the definition on the title which sounds me not known. Could you provide an explication of "extraterritorial application of public service", contained into Art.13 par.3, lett.b), or the bibliography, or previous legal texts, from which you have drawn this definition?
I thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Ludovico Drago

Dear Mr Drago,
We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 19 March 2024 under case number EASE 2024/1505.
Your request is formulated as a request for information rather than as a
request for documents and cannot be handled under [1]Regulation (EC) No
1049/2001 which applies only to existing documents. Therefore, we have
closed this case.
In your request you are asking for an explanation of the notion of
"extraterritorial application of public service" in the context of pillar
2 of the Chips Act. Please note that the aim of the co-legislators was to
ensure that integrated production facilities and open EU foundries are not
subject to extraterritorial application of public service OBLIGATIONS
(this key word was omitted in your question) imposed by third countries
that could undermine their ability to use their infrastructure, software,
services, facilities, assets, resources, IP or know-how needed to fulfil
the obligation on priority-rated orders under the Chips Act, to which they
would have to commit. The idea behind this provision is that given the
considerable public financing that integrated production facilities and
open EU foundries would receive, it is also expected that these facilities
would fulfil the obligations they commit to under the Chips Act. For
example, if [company A] from [third country X] gets the first-of-a-kind
label in [Member State X], it is important that company A is able to
fulfil its obligations (namely, the obligation on priority rated orders)
and is not subject to opposing obligations from third country X.
This information is provided under the [2]Code of Good Administrative
Behaviour not [3]Regulation 1049/2001.
