". – Mr President, the Commission is always pleased to assist Members of Parliament in forming their opinions. May I therefore say that if Mr Lehne had been present I would have said the following – and I am, of course, willing say it even though Mr Lehne is not here.
Mr Lehne stated that social and environmental clauses must be introduced in the tender documents themselves and should not influence the choice at the award stage. Therefore, I would support his view that Article 53 on award criteria should not be modified. Such considerations may be taken into account at the appropriate stage, either in the tender documents or in the contractual clauses.
I cannot support Amendment No 147 by Mr Zappalà, since it will not provide any legal certainty to economic operators.
May I end my reply to Parliament here and conclude by saying that there is now a real need to ensure that our public procurement rules remain relevant to increasingly sophisticated procurement requirements. That is why Parliament and the Council must now press ahead to ensure that these directives are adopted at the earliest opportunity.
Mr President, I am sorry for having spoken for fully half an hour, but I feel that Parliament is entitled to a complete response to the many amendments tabled. The Commission awaits the vote tomorrow."@en1
