  Public consultationsConsultation on the access of third countries to the EU's public procurement market (until 2.8.2011)Public procurement represents a substantial part of the EU's and other trading partners' economies. In contrast to the EU’s policy favouring greater openness, many third countries are reluctant to (further) open their public procurement markets to international competition. This on-line consultation asks stakeholders for their views on a new policy on the access to the EU's public procurement market. The Commission will draw on the contributions to the consultation in preparing the legislative proposal that will be issued later this year.
Consultation on the modernisation of EU public procurement policy (closed since 18.04.2011)Public procurement is confronted today with new challenges: high public deficits and thus the need for the most efficient use of public money but also the growing demand that public purchasing contributes to the achievement of overall societal goals (innovation, fighting climate change and promoting social inclusion). This consultation has launched a public debate on how legislation could be updated to help public procurers cope with these challenges. The Commission will draw on the contributions to the consultation in preparing the future legislative proposal on the reform of the EU public procurement rules. Results of the consultation
