Two large sections of the A2 motorway project in Poland were recently awarded to COVEC Ltd.
Other European Contractors have raised concerns at the award of these projects as COVEC is essentially state owned and thus can rely on funds from their home state. European Contractors deem that this point leads to unfair competition. It is illegal for EU contractors to rely on state aid but the EU / EU commission cannot do anything about, and, appear powerless to do anything about companies outside the EU relying on state aid. Another gripe EU Contractors have is the issue of EU Contractors been unable to gain access to the Chinese Construction market.
COVEC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Railway Group Limited (CREC), a state-owned construction contractor.
