Article R2152-5 of the French Public procurement code

A purchaser who finds that a tender is abnormally low as a result of the tenderer having received State aid may reject the tender on this ground alone only if the tenderer is unable to demonstrate, within a sufficient period set by the purchaser, that the aid in question met the conditions of compatibility with the internal market defined in Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
A purchaser who rejects a tender under these conditions shall inform the European Commission.

L’acheteur qui constate qu’une offre est anormalement basse du fait de l’obtention d’une aide d’Etat par le soumissionnaire ne peut rejeter cette offre pour ce seul motif que si le soumissionnaire n’est pas en mesure de démontrer, dans un délai suffisant fixé par l’acheteur, que l’aide en question répondait aux conditions de compatibilité avec le marché intérieur définies à l’article 107 du traité sur le fonctionnement de l’Union européenne.
L’acheteur qui rejette une offre dans ces conditions en informe la Commission européenne.
