"I voted in favour. This year marks the 40th anniversary of European public procurement law. The entry into force on 26 July 1971 of Council Directive 71/305/EEC concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts is an event seldom recalled. The Commission Green Paper on the modernisation of EU public procurement policy mentions the directive only once.
Nonetheless, the anniversary offers an occasion for taking stock and examining where European public procurement policy has succeeded and where it has failed. The EP position is that any revision of the public procurement directives should proceed from the recognition that there is now considerable experience with EU public procurement law in Europe: whereas, in the early days, strictly formalised procedures were necessary in order to bring a certain degree of professionalism to public procurement practice and to accustom the contracting authorities to the principles of transparency, non-discrimination and competition, these things are nowadays common practice. What is required today is a slimming down of public procurement law to refocus it on the core task of guaranteeing transparency and non-discrimination and safeguarding competition."@en1
