Alla Petrova, BC, Riga, 12.09.2012.Print version
Joint-stock company Pasazieru vilciens (Passenger Train) would like Spanish company Construcciones y Auxiliares de Ferrocariles (CAF) to show more understanding of the European Union's public procurement procedures, Pasazieru vilciens board member Aigars Stokenbergs told the Nozare.lv business portal.

"They are not even trying to agree with the EU's stance," he stressed., reports LETA.

 

Furthermore, the Spanish company's representatives are avoiding meeting with the Pasazieru vilciens board. "We have twice offered CAF to meet, and they did not reply. Last meeting took place on July 24," explained Stokenbergs.

 

However, Pasazieru vilciens will continue negotiations with CAF. Time will tell if the contract may be signed by October 2, said Stokenbergs.

 

Asked to comment on the possibility that Pasazieru vilciens and CAF might agree on establishing a joint venture, Stokenbergs said he did not comment speculation and rumors.
