lpv:translated text	". The aim of the proposal for a directive of 12 July 2002 on public contracts is to open up public markets and to establish a European internal market in the sector, in line with the objectives of the ‘Lisbon Strategy’. The award of public contracts generates a significant market that is highly tempting for the private sector. It also constitutes an important instrument of economic policy with a potential socio-economic impact. Once again, in the name of transparency, non-discrimination and equal opportunities, and with public companies at a disadvantage, the decisive factor in awarding contracts is price. This leaves the markets wide open for foreign companies to come in, which may lead to job losses, undermine regional development and adversely affect national economies. In Portugal, for example, there is a danger that more companies may go the way of the former Sorefame and the Viana do Castelo naval yards. This instrument could, however, have introduced other criteria for awarding contracts and in so doing could have provided targeted support for certain countries or regions to pursue economic, social and environmental objectives chosen by individual countries. In this regard, while we welcome recent decisions made by the Court of Justice, conferring on the contracting authority the right to select its criteria, the framework remains very limited. We therefore voted against the common position of Parliament and the Council."@en1
