First of all, the Commission
considers that the contract being awarded is t
o be qualified as a public works contract and not as a public
works concession. As a consequence, the award of a public contract through a procedure, such as that of "project financing", aimed at the award of a
works concession constitutes a violation of Directive 93/37/EEC. In addition, the Commission considers that the modification of the conditions for the award of the public
...[+++] contract in question after the publication of the tender notice, in particular with respect to the classification of the works to be realised, amounts to a breach of EC Treaty principles, and in particular the principles of transparency and non-discrimination, in so far as it has not allowed all operators, interested in and qualified for the works resulting from the modified project, to take part in the tendering procedure.
En outre, la Commission considère que la modification des conditions d'attribution du marché public en question postérieurement à la publication de l'avis d'appel d'offres, notamment en ce qui concerne la classification des travaux à réaliser, représente une infraction aux principes du traité CE, notamment les principes de transparence et de non-discrimination, dans la mesure où cette modification tardive n'a pas permis à tous les opérateurs, intéressés et qualifiés pour les travaux après modification du projet, de participer à la procédure d'adjudication.
