Procurement, State aid and European law
SOUND INSULATION PROJECT SCHIPHOL PHASE 2 (GIS II)
KLM and Schiphol Airport had a conflict with the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management about the costs of the Sound Insulation Project Schiphol GIS II and GIS III. Boot Advocaten provided legal assistance to KLM and Schiphol Airport in this matter. The GIS project includes the insulation of approximately 14,000 homes around Schiphol in order to reduce noise nuisance. Rijkswaterstaat passes on the costs of this project to the airlines. The Luchthaven Schiphol N.V. handles the administrative settlement of the charges imposed on them. The project was hit by major delays and massive cost overruns. So until then only approx. 7,700 homes were insulated and the costs of GIS II rose from 180 million euros to 396 million euros in the period 1995-2003.
The most important achievement in this case is that in three months time Boot Advocaten, in collaboration with technical experts, produced a report revealing the causes of the cost increases. Based on this report, the former State Secretary Melanie Schultz ordered the Court of Audit to conduct an investigation. Boot Advocaten then assisted Schiphol Airport in drafting comments on the draft memorandum of findings and the draft final report GIS II of the Court of Audit.
One of the conclusions of Boot Advocaten's report was that the government acted contrary to European procurement rules and entered into new contracts with contractors and consultants, which caused a large part of the cost increase. The legal services also consisted of drawing up and elaborating models for possible public-private partnerships between the government and the aviation sector. Boot Advocaten's advice contributed greatly to the fact that the State has now reduced the bill for the sector by 110 million euros. There is also a proposed amendment to Article 77 of the Aviation Act, which should still provide a legal basis.

Through a tender process, a developer was selected as a partner in 2010 to work with the Municipality of Tilburg to develop a Master Plan for the area. The selection and award criteria were innovative and led to a successful procurement of a large-scale area development.
In the context of the crisis, the winner could no longer meet its obligations. Boot Advocaten assisted the municipality in the renegotiations. Within the scope of the tender and the associated contracts, new conditions were set and further agreements were made.

SENNEMA LOCATION WINSUM
Boot Advocaten represents developer Montagne in court in a dispute with the municipality regarding valuation discussions, purchase and contracting about the development of the Sennema location, a project in the center of the municipality of Winsum. The municipality stated that it no longer had to comply with the agreement due to a violation of European law. Granting a building claim, swapping land, covering an unprofitable top and granting Dubo subsidies would constitute prohibited state aid and would be in violation of the procurement rules. The purchase of the parking garage would also not be based on market prices.
Boot Advocaten convinced Hof Leeuwarden that there was no state aid. Due to the thorough calculations of Boot Advocaten, the municipality was unable to prove that it was right. The difference between winning and losing was made, because Boot Advocaten immerses itself substantively in the technology and in the figures. The ruling is now important case law for municipalities and developers, because the Court clearly indicates how it thinks about state aid and where the burden of proof lies.
