On 4 November 2010, the company lodged a complaint with the European Commission over the tendering process, which then asked the British government for "clarification".[199] Alstom then announced it had started legal action against Eurostar, again in the High Court in London.[200] In July 2011, the High Court rejected Alstom's claim that the tender process was "ineffective",[201] and in April 2012 Alstom said it would call off pending court actions against Siemens.[202] This effectively freed the way for Siemens to build the new Eurostar trains,[203] the first of which were expected to enter service in late 2015.[204][clarification needed]
