The '''Austria Press Agency''' ({{lang-de|Austria Presse Agentur}}, '''APA''') is the national [[news agency]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Science News ? Overview of Science Reporting in the EU|url=http://ec.europa.eu/research/conferences/2007/bcn2007/overview_of_science_reporting_eu_en.pdf|work=EU|access-date=5 October 2013|year=2007}}</ref> and the leading information provider in [[Austria]]. It is owned by Austrian newspapers and the national broadcaster [[ORF (broadcaster)|ORF]].
 
In 1994, prior to [[1995 enlargement of the European Union#Accession|Austria's accession to the European Union]], the [[Austrian government]] [[government procurement|contracted]] with APA under an indefinite term agreement for the supply of press-related services. The contract was subsequently amended, transferring the contract from APA to a [[wholly-owned subsidiary]], APA-OTS, converting the cost to [[Euro]]s, adjusting the price, and revising the contract's [[indexation|price indexation]] clause. A rival business, ''pressetext Nachrichtenagentur GmbH'', challenged the amendments, arguing that they constituted the award of a new contract which should have been procured competitively under the legal regime for procurement which applied to Austria after it joined the EU. The issues were referred by the Austrian Bundesvergabeamt (Federal Procurement Office) to the [[European Court of Justice]], which issued a [[preliminary ruling]] on 19 June 2008. The Court ruled that in the circumstances, the amendments did not amount to a material change to the contract, and the government actions were justified.<ref>European Court of Justice (Third Chamber), [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:62006CJ0454 pressetext Nachrichtenagentur GmbH v Republik Österreich (Bund), APA-OTS Originaltext-Service GmbH and APA Austria Presse Agentur registrierte Genossenschaft mit beschränkter Haftung], Case C-454/06, delivered on 19 June 2008, accessed 9 January 2024</ref>
