EU Early Detection and Exclusion System (EDES)

List of persons or entities excluded from contracts financed by the EU budget.

The economic operators listed below have been excluded from participation in EU procurement procedures, grant award procedures, prizes procedures, financial instruments and procedures for selection of experts or any other form of contribution from the EU budget for the periods mentioned and/or have been imposed a financial penalty. Therefore, they cannot be awarded any contract financed by the EU budget.

Please note that the list below concerns only the cases for which a decision was taken to publish in order to, where necessary, reinforce the deterrent effect of the sanctions. Other cases of exclusions and financial penalty are listed in the Commission's database (EDES-DB) which is only accessible to authorised users involved in the implementation of the EU budget.
