TEHRAN, April 03 - British manufacturer De La Rue Plc (DLAR.L) said it will challenge a decision by Britain to award a contract to print the post-Brexit blue passports to a European company.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)-British manufacturer De La Rue Plc (DLAR.L) said it will challenge a decision by Britain to award a contract to print the post-Brexit blue passports to a European company.
The new blue British passports have been hailed by Prime Minister Theresa May as “an expression of our independence and sovereignty”, but will be made by a Franco-Dutch firm after Britain leaves the European Union, De La Rue said.
Media reports said the firm was Gemalto (GTO.AS), although it has not confirmed or denied those reports. Gemalto produces British driver’s licenses.
De La Rue, which makes banknotes and passports, said it would seek a judicial review of the provisional decision to award the British passport contract to an overseas company after it was undercut.
