Commission calls on Czech Republic to respect public procurement rules for military aircraft

The European Commission has today acted to ensure fair access to public contracts by asking the Czech Republic to comply with its obligation to award public supply contracts on the basis of public tenders. The Commission is concerned that the Czech Republic has breached EU public procurement rules by not opening up to EU-wide competition a contract for four military tactical transport aircraft. These rules are designed to ensure fair competition for public contracts in Europe, thereby creating opportunities for European companies while ensuring best value for public money. If they are not properly implemented, there is a risk of a closed market and waste of public money. The Commission's request to the Czech Republic takes the form of a reasoned opinion. If the national authorities do not reply satisfactorily within two months, the Commission may refer the matter to the Court of Justice.
