ZAGREB, May 29 (Hina) - After the newly-installed electronic voting
system in the Croatian parliament failed again today, the Siemens
company, which installed the system, on Thursday issued a press
release saying it fulfilled all of its contractual duties towards
parliament in full. #L#
The contract pertained to the reconstruction and expansion of the
system set up in 1995 and to the instalment of a multimedia system in
the parliament's chamber.
In addition, says Siemens, the company trained parliament's
services, adjusted the programme to parliament's needs and tested
the system under maximum strain and handed it over, completely
functional, to the user on May 12.
Siemens has had no access to the system since then. The voting is
controlled solely by the parliament's expert service, says the
press release.
Parliament president Zlatko Tomcic criticised the parliamentary
service and Siemens, demanding that they finally fix the system or
give a refund. The electronic voting system is worth EUR300,000.
