The Railway Reform Authority (ARF) is awaiting the reasoning of the Court of Appeal regarding the admission of the appeal submitted by Alstom Transport to the contract signed by ARF with the Polish manufacturer PESA for 62 new short-distance trains, and until then, according to the legislation, the service contract life continues, declared for Agerpres, the president of the authority, Ştefan Roşeanu.
“In the case of the 62 trains, we are still waiting for the Court’s motivation to see what are the points to be reevaluated in the offer made by PESA, at least that is what follows from the brief motivation that is published on the justice portal, but exactly the points that will have to reanalyzed, we won’t know them until after the motivation comes. Until that moment, according to the legislation, the PESA service contract continues its life and, following the reevaluation, we will see what the next steps are. It is premature to speak about cancellations or non-cancellations, especially since at this moment, in this brief motivation, nothing is written about the cancellation of the contract. Contracts are annulled when the court expressly requests it”, argued Roşeanu.
The contract is divided into three lots, namely: Lot 1 – 20 RE-R regional electric frames, intended for the rail transport of passengers on the routes Bucharest North – Ploieşti Sud – Adjud, Iaşi – Paşcani – Suceava, Bacău – Paşcani; Lot 2 – 23 RE-R regional electric frames, intended for the rail transport of passengers on the routes Braşov – Gheorgheni, Arad – Timişoara – Caransebeş, Huedin – Cluj – Bistriţa; Lot 3 – 19 RE-R regional electric frames, intended for rail passenger transport on the routes Bucharest North – Ploiesti West – Braşov, Bucharest North – Roşiori, Bucharest North – Bucharest Obor/Fundulea, Constanța – Feteşti.
