".
The aim of this proposal for a directive, which follows the Lisbon Strategy guidelines closely, is to establish provisions promoting coordination in order to ensure the freedom of movement of goods in the field of public supply contracts. It also aims to achieve freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services with regard to public works contracts and public service contracts.
The authors of the recommendation argue that there is a need to ensure non-discrimination, especially on grounds of nationality, and to facilitate competition by further standardising existing national procedures, choosing the most economically advantageous tender. To this end, they make it compulsory for national regulations, especially technical ones, to be non-discriminatory and not to run counter to the objective of opening up the markets in the field of public contracts.
It has been forgotten, however, that although the transparency of public contracts is crucial, they can still be an important economic policy instrument, even if they discriminate positively in favour of small and medium-sized enterprises in the award of public contracts. Regional development can be taken into account, and social and environmental objectives (especially working conditions, protecting jobs, or even the means of production themselves) can be promoted, by inserting special provisions into the contract. The most economically advantageous factors may not be the cheapest price, but rather the number of jobs created. For these reasons, we voted against this proposal."@en1
