"Mr President, we are dealing with a text which, from a technical and legal point of view, is of great practical importance, because it is actually about preserving the possibilities for recourse for candidates for public contracts by establishing a period suspending the awarding of the contract, in other words a period between the contract being awarded and the contract being signed, in order to enable unsuccessful candidates to lodge an appeal, in the knowledge that it is much better to try to object to a contract being signed than to win damages once the contract had been signed. This proposal also establishes effective measures for combating the illegal direct awarding of contracts. The discussion with the Council was based on the excellent report by Mr Fruteau, mainly on the issue of penalties to void contracts that have been awarded in violation of the standstill period, which we achieved at the end of the trilogue. The Member States therefore have the opportunity to establish substitution penalties for violations of the standstill period, and this proposal has our support. It is a good compromise. The ineffectiveness penalty for violations and the possibility of applying other penalties, and therefore of leaving some room to manoeuvre for the national courts in the event of violation of the standstill period, is a good formula, and we approve it."@en1
