"The aim of European public procurement legislation has mainly been to implement transparent measures for awarding public contracts by tackling irregularities, cutting red tape and simplifying the application procedures. Current practice in this area indicates the need for national criteria to be better aligned with European legislation. The new provisions may create a legislative framework conducive to increasing the access that SMEs have to public procurement by avoiding the introduction of further bureaucratic procedures. I should emphasise how important it is to establish additional criteria for awarding public contracts. The introduction of the ‘most economically advantageous’ criterion will take into account objectives providing economic and social benefits and with less of an environmental impact. Only 50% of public procurement transactions in the EU are carried out online. However, even in this area, there are many flaws in the implementation of an effective e-procurement system.
I think that a common framework is needed to establish the procedures for appealing the outcomes of tenders. In some Member States, appeals are the main obstacle to kick-starting investment. I voted for this report because I think that the future of public procurement may provide an important source for creating jobs and developing skills in the areas of research and innovation."@en1
