New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2021/C 20/05)




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Latvia

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: Latvia

Subject of commemoration: The 100th anniversary of Latvia’s international recognition de iure


Description of the design: It was on 26 January 1921 when Latvian diplomats had succeeded in accomplishing a momentous task – the world’s great powers recognized Latvia de iure. Although Latvia declared its independence on 18 November 1918, only after a confused period of fighting, the new nation was recognized in 1920.
The design depicts an artistic inscription ‘100 Latvija de iure 2021’ thus also featuring the country name (LATVIJA) as well as the year of issue (2021).
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued: 412 000

Date of issue: First quarter of 2021

—


annul the decision of unknown date to award the Framework Contract for Disinfection Robots for European Hospitals (Covid-19) to UVD Robots APS / Kompaï Robotics & Teamnet;

—


order defendant to pay the costs, including the costs incurred by Applicant.





Pleas in law and main arguments

First plea in law, alleging that the defendant breached the Articles 160 (1) and (2) of the Financial Regulation and of Annex 1 — Chapter 1 — Section 2 — 11 of the Financial Regulation in conjunction with a breach of the principle of good administration, because the defendant wrongfully made use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice for the purchase of up to 200 disinfection robots, committing a manifest error of assessment.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the defendant breached, one the one hand, the Articles 61, 160 (1) and 167 (1) of the Financial Regulation in conjunction with the general E.U. principles of transparency, equality and non-discrimination and, on the other hand, the article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, because the defendant and the successful tenderer (UVD Robots APS) are subject to a conflict of interest which entails a serious irregularity that renders the concluded Framework Contract null and void.
