The Ombudsman also found that the Commission failed to give adequate reasons for its challenged decision, taking into account certain passages of its Communication on the participation of EEIGs in public contracts and programmes financed by public funds, on which the complainant could, at least in principle, justifiably rely when preparing its bids.
Ba é meas an Ombudsman freisin gur theip ar an gCoimisiún fáthanna sásúla a thabhairt leis an gcinneadh ar tugadh a dhúshlán, go mór mór nuair a chuirfí san áireamh sleachta áirithe óna Chumarsáid faoi pháirt na EEIGeanna i gconarthaí poiblí agus sna cláir a bhfuil maoiniú poiblí acu, agus ar chóir go bhféadfadh an gearánaí muinín a chur iontu, i bprionsabal, ar aon nós, agus iad ag ullmhú a dtairiscintí.
