"Mr President, it is important that we have transparent, workable directives. It is important to give a clear lead to our local authorities or to our public – in some cases private – utilities. Above all, it is important that we give a clear lead to the workforces operating within those contracting authorities.
The Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market unfortunately did not provide that transparent, workable directive. What we have is two directives, which are not in line with each other. In fact, in certain areas, they are actually contradictory. The Legal Affairs Committee missed an opportunity to advance the social provisions to workers. It has advanced – to give it credit – the case of workers with disabilities. But we could have gone further.
That is why I am reintroducing my Amendment No 166, which was adopted at first reading by a large majority. Now certain groups seem to have gone cold on it. Amendment No 166 to Article 53(1) and (2) reintroduces the flexibility contracting authorities require when deciding on awarding contracts, not just being bound by the lowest price.
It should be made clear to all those companies that intend to tender for these contracts that they have to introduce social and environmental conditions for their own workforces or they will not get the contracts."@en1
