With regard to regulation 43(9), The Council notes the modification:

1. does not render the concession contract materially different in character from the one initially concluded;
2. does not allow for the admission of other participants, allowed for the acceptance of another tender, or attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure initially conducted;
3. does not shift the economic balance of the contract in favour of the concessionaire in a manner not provided for in the initial contract;
4. does not extend the scope of the concession contract considerably; and
5. does not replace the concessionaire initially awarded the concession contract.
