Telecommunication company Baltkom has turned to the European Commission with a complaint about the results of a tender in Latvia for selecting a company to introduce digital television in the country, the Dienas Bizness newspaper writes.

Baltkom suspects that budget funds were misused and fair competition principles were violated in organizing the competition, explained Baltkom press secretary Lauris Klavins.

 

Baltkom emphasizes in the petition to the European Commission that the tender was organized in great haste, and the selection of the best bid was non-transparent. Baltkom believes that the winner of the competition, Lattelecom, had certain economic advantages created for it, in preference to other bidders, writes LETA.

 

On the other hand, Lattelecom points out that all the other bidders were given one month to appeal the results of the tender, yet none used this opportunity.
