Question for written answer  E-001164/2022
to the Commission
Rule 138
José Manuel Fernandes (PPE), Cláudia Monteiro de Aguiar (PPE), Álvaro Amaro (PPE), Maria da Graça Carvalho (PPE)
 
 Subject: Management of EU funds for water and sanitation investments in Portugal

 

When directing calls for tender at associated entities, the Government of Portugal prevents the municipalities that have not joined the systems predominantly owned by Águas de Portugal – an entity set up without a public tender – from accessing cohesion policy funds intended for water and sanitation investments.

In view of this, can the Commission say whether there is a legal basis or any other kind of justification for this discrimination against municipalities that have not joined inter-municipal systems predominantly owned by Águas de Portugal?
