EC Has Not Formed Opinion On Hungary’s Paks Tender
The European Commission has not said whether or not a tender must be held, a commission spokesperson said on Wednesday in reply to a question concerning the recent deal signed in Moscow on building two reactors at Hungary’s sole nuclear power station.

“Experts will soon examine the agreement’s public-procurement aspects but for the time being we cannot give an opinion about whether these are in line with Union rules or not,” Sabine Berger, the commission’s spokeswoman for energy affairs told journalists.

The spokeswoman for Günther Oettinger, the energy commissioner, confirmed that Hungary had sent the draft agreement with Russia on the peaceful use of nuclear energy in time.
