Significant events
- “The D4R7 motorway project was delayed due to the failure of the contracting authority to provide valid project road permits. The project road was finalized after obtaining the occupation permits for the residual pending project road objects, including vegetation and the highway information system, at the end of year 2022.”
- “On 29 November 2023, an out-of-court agreement was concluded between the parties in form of the 'Settlement Agreement', the subject of which was the settlement of the claims asserted in the arbitration lawsuit related to (i) late payment interest as well as the additionally raised claims of the EPC contractor... The second instalment was eventually settled earlier, in November 2025.”
- “On 31 May 2024, the Concessionaire, as a claimant on behalf of the EPC Contractor, filed an arbitration claim against the Public Authority... for the sum of € 61,649,078.11 in increased construction costs and lost availability payments... Oral hearings took place in November and December 2025. The decision and an arbitration award are expected in late summer 2026.”
- “In total, there are currently 6 active cases where the EPC contractor is challenged either in court or investigated [for environmental criminal offences and illegal waste disposal].”
