"I voted for this own-initiative report drawn up by Parliament in response to the European Commission’s Green Paper. Public procurement could be a real driver for the European market in promoting jobs and developing skills and innovation. I believe it is crucial to up the stakes in the fight against the corruption and favouritism that is rife in public administration.
The existing laws must also be improved by simplifying the rules, especially through the use of information and communication technology and suitable standards. This would result in wider participation, and therefore a reduction in costs: optimum efficiency in public expenditure. I agree with the fact that the criterion of ‘lowest price’ should no longer be the determining one, and that it should be replaced by the criterion of ‘most economically advantageous tender’.
This would undoubtedly stimulate innovation and efforts to obtain the best quality and value. Furthermore, improving access for small and medium-sized enterprises to public procurement contracts is a crucial issue, because they need to be able to participate on a more equal footing, bearing in mind the hindrances they encounter as a result of their smaller size."@en1
