News TVI/CNN Portugal: Kamov stopped for years. State asked for 24 million, but compensation will be much smaller
Judgment speaks of “serious non-compliance” by the company that must guarantee the operation of State helicopters, but civil protection is also critical: fines for non-compliance with the contract were passed after the deadline
The Arbitration Court will accept the National Emergency and (ANEPC) only 2.5 million euros for the fights of the company Everjets protection in the operation and maintenance of Kamov, the new helicopters of the State to combat fires stopped for four years.
The national civil protection of 2 million euros claimed, but the decision, now released by TVI (from the CNN Portugal group), was far below the and in good guilt due to the fault of national civil protection: penalties for non-compliance with the amount of 8 million euros, which were also applied late, despite the assurances of the then Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita in statements in Parliament.
The judgments belie the judge’s statements and reveal that the penalties widely implemented by the minister in April 2018 were more important, in fact, months later, without realizing how long they took.
Between what the court has to pay ANEPC to Everjets and what Everjets has to pay to ANEPC, the balance is favorable to the entity that was promised to the Kamovs on behalf of the State, but the value of 2.5 million euros is very far from the 24 million euros claimed.
In addition, the jet informs the company source (from the same CNN Portugal group) that it is evaluating, as the objective is not to pay anything, taking into account that it does not agree with all the company’s official sources, who do not agree with the appeal. agreement official.
In the now revealed, Arbitral concludes that it had the decision failed, on the brink of new fire season, on the brink of new fire season, aircraft Kamov aircraft with the Court that was not approved and approved, ready for.
“There was a serious breach, absolutely compromising the public interest” and “Everjets’ breaches reach a level of seriousness that compromised the interest of the State”, advances the judgment.
The decision, in part, ANEPC, condemning it to pay 140 thousand euros to Everjets for having closed, in 20., that divert the operation of State helicopters.
With the Kamovs still unable to fly, according to TVI (from the same group as CNN Portugal), the State has already spent at least 26 million euros to hire air assets that their replacements do not fight fires, an amount that is far from be compensated by the indemnification of 2.5 million now decided by the Arbitral Tribunal.
