27The Commission points out that tender procedures, including those applying to the TACIS Regulation, are the subject of detailed and precise conditions, the ongoing and strict respect of which represents a sine qua non for admission to any tender by analogy, in particular, with the position in respect of competitions for the recruitment of Community officials (Case T-54/91 Antunes v Parliament [1992] ECR II-1739, in particular, paragraph 40, and the order in Case C-435/98 P Jouhki v Commission [2000] ECR I-2229, in particular, paragraph 35). Moreover, economic operators will be fully aware of these conditions when they participate in Community tendering. The Commission points out that the tender submitted in respect of the very same project by the applicant had previously been rejected in 2001 and that the applicant should therefore have been especially vigilant when it submitted its tender on this occasion. In particular, it should not have simply resubmitted the same documents after the Addendum was issued and its tender documents were returned to it, without even checking the dates, assuming that is what actually happened as the applicant claims.
