Poland’s competition watchdog said on Wednesday it had fined the Polish units of Canada’s Bombardier and France’s Thales, two rail and plane manufactures for alleged irregularities in a 2011 rail tender for $133 million.
The watchdog, UOKiK, said the unit of Bombardier, Bombardier Transportation, had filed an offer that contained deliberate mistakes and whose main goal was to make the offers of other bidders morThey also concluded that Thales Polska had filed its own offer in the tender and was also to be the main sub-contractor for another offer, which it said resulted in the firm in effect filing two offers.
“Bombardier strongly refutes those claims. Antitrust behavior is not condoned by Bombardier and contravenes our code of ethics,” Bombardier spokesman Marc Laforge said.
