Noi reguli pentru achizițiile publice. CE: Banii europeni ar trebui să creeze locuri de muncă, investiţii şi oportunităţi în Europa

The European Commission has proposed a new regulation for public procurement aimed at simplifying and modernizing rules within the EU. This framework seeks to reduce administrative burdens, enhance flexibility for contracting authorities, and promote quality criteria in contract awards. The proposal could save around 650 million euros annually, benefiting both public buyers and economic operators. It aims to consolidate existing directives into a single, directly applicable regulation, streamline procedures, and foster digital public procurement across member states. Quality will be prioritized over price, with specific criteria for evaluation, while a European preference framework will clarify international commitments. The proposal is subject to negotiation before becoming law.
