Proposal amending Directive on procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sector
The European Commission has published its proposal for a European Parliament and Council Directive amending Directive 93/38/EEC coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sector. Directive 93/38/EEC coordinated the national procedures relating to the procurement procedures of entities operating in the abovementioned sectors, in order to introduce equal conditions of competition for such contracts in all the Member States. The proposal amends the Directive to take account of the more favourable conditions and arrangements defined in the recently signed Agreement on Government Procurement, which applies to tenderers and products from signatory third countries.
