CER Hungary Zrt. considers it important to respond to inaccurate statements published on social media concerning the rail transport activities of the Hungarian Defence Forces.
Our company is committed to transparent and professionally grounded communication, and therefore wishes to clarify the following facts:
- Status of the tender: CER Hungary Zrt. did indeed participate in the tender announced by the Defence Procurement Agency of the Ministry of Defence. However, it is important to clarify that the contracting authority ultimately declared the tender invalid.
- As a consequence, no transport services were carried out under the framework agreement in question, and none will be carried out in the future.
- The role of CER Hungary Zrt.: Our company submitted a bid for the rail freight component jointly with Ghibli Kft. Although CER Hungary Zrt. submitted the most professionally favourable offer and holds all the necessary regulatory permits required for the transport of military goods, no contract was awarded to us due to the cancellation of the tender.
- CER Hungary Zrt. is a Hungarian-owned railway company. We believe that Hungary’s national security and economic interests would be best served if domestic military transport services were carried out by Hungarian-owned companies that pay taxes in Hungary and employ Hungarian workers, rather than by the current partners with foreign, including Austrian, ownership interests.
- We reject any campaign-style communication that seeks to use the professional reputation of CER Hungary Zrt. for political purposes. Our company will continue to work for the benefit of the Hungarian economy and the development of rail logistics, while remaining independent of party-political disputes.
We thank our partners and customers for their continued trust.
CER Hungary Zrt.
