Możliwość skorzystania z art. 346 TFUE przy zamówieniach na ochronę fizyczną jednostek wojskowych

Article 346 of the TFEU allows for a waiver of application of the EU law requirements in two cases, due to the need of protection of basic security interests of the state. The EU Court of Justice considers that this provision applies to exceptional, clearly defined cases and, due to its limited nature, is a subject of a restrictive interpretation. In the author’s opinion, the providing security services concerning military units, as a rule, does not fall within the exceptions referred to in this provision. References to the contents of Article 346 of the TFEU in order to justify the exclusion of the application of the European public procurement law regime would be risky in this case and could be questioned by the EU Court of Justice.
