No we do not confirm; our reply to Q19 was incomplete and should be read as follows : 1) As per Art 146.5 of the Rules of Application: An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them. It must in that case prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for the performance of the contract by producing a commitment by those entities to that effect. With regard to technical and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the works or services for which these capacities are required. In this respect a letter of endorsement will be required from the tenderer. 2) As per Section 4.2.1 of the Questionnaire : Client references should be for different customers, other than European Commission, and for services performed at the premises of the tenderer. Parent companies, partner organisations, subsidiaries, branches, departments, divisions, directorates, etc. of the tenderer (whether it is a sole tenderer or a tendering group), cannot be submitted as client references. The same reasoning applies for section 4.2.3 of the Questionnaire; Services performed for a parent company, partner organisation(s), subsidiary(ies), branch(es), department(s), division(s), directorate(s), etc. of the tenderer (whether it is a sole tenderer or a tendering group), cannot be submitted as service references.
