Press Release: Public procurement: Commission closes infringement cases against Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark and United Kingdom

The European Commission has decided to close a range of infringement cases on public procurement, having come to a satisfactory agreement with the Member States concerned without the need to refer the case to the European Court of Justice or to enforce a previous judgement of the Court. The cases that have now been resolved were, respectively, against the United Kingdom concerning the design and construction of the new Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood; against the Czech Republic concerning the tender procedure for an electronic toll system for motorways; against Austria concerning waste disposal services in the city of Mödling; and against Denmark concerning its implementation of the Remedies Directive in accordance with the "Alcatel" judgement of the Court of Justice.
