Aigues de Barcelona ( Agbar ) argued that the “only way” that has the Generalitat in the conflict in Aigües Ter Llobregat (ATLL) is to award the management of public enterprises. The consortium led by Acciona, the company headed by Angel Simon and controlled by the French group Suez , must leave the management of the firm immediately.

Speaking to Agbar alleged that it can not review the bids submitted in the contest two years ago. If members of the jury modify valuations, he warned, would act against their own acts, so this could comportarles personally.

In this regard, he recalled that one of the reasons why Organ Administratiu Resource Contractuals (OARCC) considered void the award was a breach in the program of works by Acciona. The own jury, he said, gave zero points to Acciona for this item, while the supply of Agbar received the highest score (3 points).

THE SAME WEEK

“From what not is no doubt,” added from Agbar, is that Acciona “this week should leave the farm” of ATLL and can not have “no link” with the company. “They ruled absolutely Acciona could be an interim basis, as this would constitute a procedural fraud to circumvent the repeated decisions of the courts,” warned the sources of Aigues de Barcelona.

The Generalitat, added, can not be plead public interest “to maintain an irregular situation in time”. The whole process, they added, has been “deeply flawed” and “incomprehensible effort to maintain a de facto situation and illegitimate” by the Catalan Government.

In contrast, the consortium of Acciona said in a note that has a “formally valid contract” and was confident that the Government “take appropriate decisions concerning the continuation of the contractual relationship, respecting the obligations and meeting the responsibilities incumbent equally.”

He claimed that the Catalan Executive to ensure continuity of service until the courts resolve the merits of the conflict, “avoiding uncertainty and insecurity generated may adversely affect the credibility and stability of Catalonia as a safe environment for investment. “

The jury, maintained, can now” upholding the regularity “of its offer and its” economic benefits “. Also note the “formal defects and materials” Agbar’s proposal, according to Acciona, included an extra cost of 20 million euros a year, threatening jobs and cause a monopoly water service de Catalunya.

If your contract is not respected, the group chaired by José Manuel Entrecanales take action: “The consortium reserves for all purposes the legal actions they deem agree to defend its legitimate interests, which exercised and continues to exercise in all instances until their rights are recognized or compensated definitely ratified with the requirement of the responsibilities that come in each case. “
