"A properly functioning procurement market is of essential importance in order to foster the Single Market, and to stimulate innovation and investment. With a view to overcoming the economic and financial crisis, public procurement is of crucial importance in boosting the EU economy and it contributes to job creation. The European Union rejects the possibility of implementing protectionist measures, and seeks equal access to public sector markets in the EU and in third countries. As such, the EU firmly believes in the principle of reciprocity, mutual benefit and proportionality in this area.
To that end, I advocate better coherence between common trade policy and practices in Member States accepting exceptionally low bids from companies whose countries are not signatories to the Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA), to the disadvantage of companies from EU Member States.
I therefore reiterate this House’s call to prioritise the modernisation of public procurement rules in such a way as to avoid its fragmentation and to encourage companies to choose this option."@en1
