Council of European Union conducts meeting at Brussels

13 Feb '07
2 min read

This revision should lead to an overall improvement of access to the procurement markets among GPA Members, removing the existing imbalance. The Council regrets that the level of ambition among some of our GPA partners does not correspond to the commitments the EC is willing to undertake.

The Council also points to the need to reconsider the EC's level of ambition if no balanced access to the public procurement markets among other GPA members can otherwise be achieved.

A number of our GPA partners are maintaining derogations for preferential treatment of their SMEs in the area of public procurement. The Council calls upon our GPA partners to substantially improve their offers in the ongoing negotiations in the GPA context for the sake of better and balanced access to public procurement markets.

The Council invites the Commission to keep it informed of the progress of the negotiations on the revised GPA and agrees to return to the matter when necessary, at a later stage."
