lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would like to start by thanking our rapporteur, Marc Tarabella, for his excellent work and for persevering through the negotiations to achieve a progressive piece of legislation. While there are elements which we would have liked to take further, this is progress and a very good compromise. The public procurement process will now be faster, less costly and more effective for suppliers and procurers alike. There will be less red tape and more focus on getting the right supplier and the best tender. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, the process of bidding should be quicker, less costly and more competitive. I hope to see the achievements reflected in the new Scottish Public Procurement Bill because, if they are implemented correctly, we will see a much more sustainable approach to procurement that will encompass our social and environmental goals. One area in particular that needs to be implemented correctly is Article 76(a). This should be used only to benefit social enterprises and mutuals and should not be used as privatisation through the back door."@en1
