contestations

Romania’s National Council Settling Contestations CNSC said the number of contestations to public auctions rose 33% on the year in the first quarter of 2010 and estimates a lower number of contestations until the end of 2010, on the backdrop of lower state funds earmarked for public spending.

Romania’s Tourism and Regional Development Minister Elena Udrea said Thursday she wants construction companies that excessively contest public works auctions to be downrated at future auctions set up by the ministry.
