Question referred

Does the EU law principle of equal treatment mean that a contracting authority, following expiry of the time-limit for applying to take part in a tendering procedure, may not obtain information required in the call for tenders concerning a tenderer’s most recent published balance sheet, when the tenderer in question did not provide such a balance sheet in its application for pre-qualification?
