Since the Commission was unaware of any information pertaining to the organisation of a tendering procedure at Community level for the supply of helicopters to meet the requirements of various corps of the Italian State, it considered that such Agusta and Agusta Bell helicopters had been purchased directly, without any competitive tendering procedure at Community level, in breach of the provisions of Directives 77/62 and 93/36.
Komisjon, leidmata teavet ühenduse tasandil pakkumismenetluse korraldamise kohta helikopterite ostmiseks Itaalia riigi eri ametkondade tarbeks, asus seisukohale, et „Agusta” ja „Agusta Bell” helikopterid olid ostetud otse, ilma ühenduse tasandil mingit pakkumismenetlust korraldamata, rikkudes direktiivis 77/62 ja direktiivis 93/36 sätestatud korda.
