Alongside the on-going reform of public procurement, the IMCO committee is currently considering a Commission proposal on concessions contracts. This initiative seeks to ensure a more efficient allocation of public money by establishing a single instrument regulating the competitive award of concessions contracts. The proposed rules seek to increase legal certainty for public authorities and to guarantee businesses effective access to the concessions markets across the EU.

 

The European Commission presented its proposal and the Impact Assessment to the IMCO Members on 25h January 2012. The first exchange of views took place on 29th February 2012.

The IMCO Committee is currently considering the Commission's proposals for a modernisation of the EU public procurement rules, including, more specifically, the revision of Directive 2004/18/EC ("Classic Directive") and of Directive 2004/17/EC ("Utilities Directive"). Public procurement is the process used by government institutions, public sector organisations and certain undertakings in the utilities sectors to buy supplies, services and public works. Such expenditure is a significant and influential component of the economy. The reform seeks to make the existing rules more flexible and easier to apply, to enable a greater strategic use of public purchasing power (to achieve green, social and innovation-related objectives) and to increase the use of new procurement techniques and tools such as joint buying and e-procurement. This work follows the adoption by the European Parliament of an IMCO own initiative report (rapporteur: Heide Rühle, Greens) in late 2011, in response to the Commission's Green Paper consultation.

 

The European Commission presented its proposal and the Impact Assessment to the IMCO Members on 9th January 2012. The first exchange of views took place on 29th February 2012.

The Rapporteur presented her draft Report to Members, highlighting the objective to promote modern and simple customs rules. The main amendments tabled by Ms Le Grip to the Commission's proposal concern: the use of electronic means by all Member States (exceptionally derogations could be allowed for a limited period of time and when they do not affect the development, maintenance and employment of the electronic system); the integration of main principles in the basic act on the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status and  on the rules on the acquisition of origin and preferential origin of goods; the possibility of testing further simplification using electronic data-processing techniques. In general, Members supported Ms Le Grip's draft Report and welcomed her balanced approach. Centralised clearance as ruled in the Modernised Customs Code and the no-need for a separate declaration for temporary storage were also items highlighted at the meeting.
