The Labour Party has published the European Commission's letter to the government about the procedure carried out by Enemalta for the award of the power station extension contract to the BWSC.

In its letter, dated June 3, the Commission states that it believes that the changes in the technical specifications introduced by the awarding authority with regard, in particular, to the emission values for diesel powered plants at a late stage of the tender procedure, discriminated in favour of the bidders that presented an offer for a diesel powered plant, at disadvantage of the bidders that had presented an offer for a gas powered plants.

"By having introduced those changes, which did not seem to be necessary in order to comply with the applicable environmental legislation, the awarding authority infringed, Article 10 of Directive 2004/17/EC."

The letter in its entirety can be read in the attached pdf file.
