"In a period of budget restrictions throughout the world, the public procurement policy must ensure a more efficient use of Member State money in order to help revive the economy.
Currently, in Europe, spending in this sector makes up a significant proportion of the budget, that is, about 17% of EU GDP, but needs further simplification to enable our companies to gain easier access to tenders.
That is why I agree with the rapporteur on the choice of criteria for awarding contracts. These relate to criteria capable of selecting the most advantageous tender in terms of both economic and social benefits, taking into account the entire production cycle for the goods or services we are seeking to guarantee, such as contracts relating to the food sector.
The new provisions, provided for in the Green Paper on public procurement, therefore need to ensure that even passive consumers, such as patients in hospitals or nursing homes, can gain access to healthy foods with the best quality-price ratio and not simply to the cheapest products available.
It is my hope, finally, that with the introduction of these new measures, public procurement may increasingly act as an engine of innovation and encouragement for companies to come up with solutions that can benefit the whole of Europe."@en1
