The company EUROFOS, with SIRET number 40808670000023, has been fined 19,000€ for violating
Article L412-8 of the French Commercial Code
The French Commercial Code Article L412-8 states that:
“Any person who, by any means whatsoever, directly or indirectly, offers, promises, gives or agrees to give, any undue advantage to a person in charge of public procurement with a view to obtaining or retaining an order, shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of two years and a fine of 150,000 euros. If the undue advantage is granted, attempted or accepted, the penalty shall be three years’ imprisonment and a fine of 200,000 euros.”
No Further Information Released
The French Ministry of Economy and Finance has not released any further information regarding the case. It is unclear what specific violations EUROFOS committed or what actions led to the fine.
Potential Impact on EUROFOS
The fine is a significant financial penalty for EUROFOS. It could have a negative impact on the company’s profits and reputation. Additionally, the fine could make it more difficult for EUROFOS to win future public procurement contracts.
Lack of Transparency
The lack of transparency surrounding the case is concerning. The public has a right to know why EUROFOS was fined and what actions the company took that violated the law. The French government should release more information about the case to ensure that the public is fully informed.
