The Auditor of the Council of State advises to suspend the decision of railway company NMBS on the order of new trains. That is what the public broadcaster VRT writes on its website on Tuesday.
The NMBS chose the Spanish company CAF as preferred bidder to build hundreds of new trains. The French Alstom, which builds trains in Bruges, went to the Council of State to request the suspension of the decision.
The suspension profession has now been argued for the Council of State. The auditor advised during the hearing to suspend the NMBS decision to designate CAF. The council is not obliged to follow the auditor’s advice, but usually does.
