Press Release: Public procurement: Commission calls on Greece to review urban planning contracts and to comply with Court ruling on medical devices

The European Commission has decided to formally request Greece to review contracts for cadastral mapping and urban planning services awarded by the municipalities of Vasilika, Kassandra, Egnatia and Arethousa. This formal request takes the form of a "reasoned opinion", the second stage of the infringement procedure laid down in Article 226 of the EC Treaty. If there is no satisfactory reply within two months, the Commission may refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. The Commission has also decided, under Article 228 of the EC Treaty, to send Greece a letter of formal notice requesting full information on compliance with the 2009 judgment of the European Court of Justice concerning the supply of medical devices.
