Trakiya motorway project put on hold by Brussels

Mon, Jan 05 2009 10:11 CET byDnevnik.bg 367 Views

Bulgaria's National Road Infrastructure Agency (NRIA) suspended on December 30 2008 the tender for the construction of two sections of Trakia motorway.

Thus the construction of the 36-kilometer stretch linking Nova Zagora and Yambol, and the 32-km road between Stara Zagora and Nova Zagora was postponed by an indefinite period.

The contractor was to be picked by January 2, 2009.

The agency's move follows a letter by the European Commission's Internal Market and Services Directorate General urging that no contracts be signed and no action be taken that can be presented as a fait accompli.

The letter follows indications of possible violations of Community law in the assignment of procurements and is aimed at preventing any implications that might arise from possible violations.

Brussels will decide whether or not to unfreeze the tender once RINA has replied to a set of questions.
