Explanatory Memorandum 
I Introduction 
1. The Government Procurement Agreement (GPA or, in French, 
AMP) forms an integral part of the legal order of the Community 
through Council Decision 94/800/EEC of 22 December 1994, 
which approves the agreements reached in the Uruguay Round 
multilateral negotiations. This does, however, not entail that its 
provisions can be directly invoked before the jurisdictions of the 
Community and the Member States (last recital of Decision 
94/800/EEC) Consequently, the GPA entered into force in the 
Community on 1 January 1996 as stipulated in its Article XXIV. Its 
implementation by the Community does not therefore, per se, 
require any transposing measures. 
2. The Commission has, nevertheless proposed a series of 
amendments to the Directives, aimed at inserting some provisions 
of the GPA in the Directives in order to: 
a) avoid discrimination against Community companies and 
give them the same advantages that third country companies 
enjoy pursuant to the GPA; and 
b) ensure coherence between the two legal regimes. This way 
contracting authorities, which are subject to both the 
directives and the GPA, will be able to conform to the GPA 
by applying the provisions of the amended Directives. They 
would otherwise be obliged to know both legal regimes 
perfectly, to highlight the differences between them and to 
draw the correct consequences of these differences. That 
would seem to be a difficult process which could lead to 
significant differences in the application of Community law 
in the different Member States. 
This does not in any way constitute a unilateral opening of the 
Community markets to companies from third countries. The GPA 
and the Community Directives are two distinct legal realities. The 
former regulates the relations between the Community and third 
countries having signed the GPA with regard to the contracts 
covered therein. The rights for companies from third countries to 
access to contracts awarded by contracting authorities and 
contracting entities in the Community are therefore governed by the 
GPA. The Directives, whether amended or not, deal only with the 
intra-Community relations, that is the relations between the 
European contracting entities and authorities and the European 
companies. They do not create rights for companies from third 
countries, whose rights exclusively derive from the GPA or other 
international agreements. 
The Commission is, in other words, trying to ensure that 
European companies are given a level playing field by 
proposing to amend the directives. With few minor and strictly 
technical exceptions, which are necessary for reasons of 
legislative technique, the Commission intends to limit itself to 
amending the directives only insofar as this is strictly necessary 
in order to avoid discrimination against Community compa­
nies.

3. On 30 March 1995, the Commission sent the Council and the 
European Parliament two proposals for a Directive of the Council 
and of the European Parliament, one amending Directives 
92/50/EEC, 93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC (regarding the procurement 
of, respectively, services, supplies and works by public authorities), 
and the other amending Council Directive 93/38/EEC of 14 June 
1993 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating 
in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors. 
Only the former will be examined in the following paragraphs. 
4. In February 1996 the European Parliament adopted its legislative 
resolution as well as a series of amendments. The Commission 
- indicated that it could accept a number of these amendments. 
The amendments which the Commission has accepted, in some 
cases after integration of other elements or textual reformulations, 
consist particularly in: 
- a new recital concerning delays of payment; 
- the introduction of differentiated thresholds for service contracts 
depending on whether the types of services in question are or 
not covered by the GPA; 
- a restructuring of the provision on statistics regarding public 
works contracts; and 
- inclusion of the central Government bodies of Austria, Finland 
and Sweden in Annex I. 
5. Besides the amendments already mentioned, the principal 
amendments introduced in the revised proposal consist in: 
- a clarification of the fields of application of the GPA and the 
directives as well as a clear statement as to the legal regime 
applicable to third country companies; 
- the replacement of the earlier provisions on "technical dialogue" 
by a recital in all three Directives; 
- the modification of the thresholds for design contests so as to 
reflect the limited scope of the GPA as compared to that of 
Directive 92/50/EEC; 
- the rendering more flexible the deadlines following publication 
of a periodic indicative notice in all three Directives; 
- the rendering more flexible the provision on the means of 
transmission of tenders in all three Directives; 
- the insertion of a provision on non-discrimination in Directive 
93/36/EEC and in Directive 93/37/EEC; 
- the introduction of a 5 000 000 ECU threshold for certain works 
contracts which do not fall under the field of application of the 
GPA. 
II Analysis of the recitals and articles. 
The following paragraphs explain the amendments which have been 
introduced. 
6. Recitals. 
The third recital has been amended to make it clear that the rights of 
third- country firms depend only on the GPA and not on the amended 
Directives. It is also aimed at giving a clear picture of what is not covered 
by the GPA but does fall within the scope of the Directive and it likewise 
stresses that the amendment of the Directive cannot have anything to do 
with reciprocity or non-reciprocity vis-à-vis firms in non-member 
signatory countries. The Directive deals only with intra-Community 
relations, i.e. relations between contracting entities and firms within the 
Community, and does not create any rights which benefit firms in third 
countries; such rights can only flow from the GPA. This should also help 
to make it understood that the Directive can be amended in respect of 
private entities (in sectors covered by the GPA or not) without granting 
third-country firms access to contracts put up for tender by these 
contracting entities. 
A new ninth recital has been inserted instead of the earlier proposed 
amendments to Article 14 (7) of Directive 92/50/EEC, Article 8 (7) of 
Directive 93/36/EEC and Article 10 (7) of Directive 93/37/EEC. The 
purpose of the recital is to give an explicit reminder of what already 
follows from current Community law as applied to technical advice. In 
fact, while nothing in current Community Law prevents entities seeking 
or accepting advice which may be used in the preparation of 
specifications for a particular procurement from a firm that could take 
part in the tender procedure, such is not the case pursuant to current 
Community Law, where so doing would thus prejudice the principle of 
equal treatment, in particular, by precluding competition. This being the 
case, there is no need to amend the provisions of the Directives in order to 
take into account Article VI(4) of the GPA. 
A new recital has been inserted as number 10 to underline the importance 
of prompt payment with a reference to the steps to that end, which have 
been recommended in Commission Recommendation of 12 May 1995 on 
payment periods in commercial transactions. 
7. Article 1 
Article 1 has been amended in parallel with the third recital and for the 
same purpose (see point 6 above). 
Amendments to Directive 92/50/EEC 
8. Article 7 (1) and (2) - thresholds. 
This amendment limits the changes to the thresholds so that these are 
amended exclusively with regard to the contracts, which are subject to the 
GPA. 
The second indent of letter a introduces the new thresholds, which are 
applicable to the contracts subject to the GPA (i. e. the services listed in 
Annex I A with the exception of R&D-services and certain 
telecommunications services), whereas the first indent applies to all other 
service contracts subject to the Directive (i. e. the two just mentioned 
categories and the types of services listed in Annex I B). The threshold 
provided for in the first indent of letter a is unchanged. 
In the second indent, subparagraph i applies to the central State 
authorities listed in Annex I to Directive 93/36/EEC, whereas 
subparagraph ii applies to all other contracting authorities subject to the 
Directive. 
9. Article 12 (1) and (2) Information to rejected candidates and 
tenderers. 
The main amendment is the new formulation of paragraph 2, which is 
intended to align it more closely with the corresponding provision of the 
GPA. In paragraph 1, the requirement on information regarding other 
tenderers has furthermore been restricted to tenderers having made an 
"admissible tender", in order to avoid abuses. 
-6-
10. Article 13 (1) and (2) thresholds applicable to design contests. 
These thresholds have been amended in the same way as the general pro­
vision on thresholds in Article 7 (1). This means that the thresholds 
remain unaltered compared to those currently applicable with regard to 
contracts not subject to the GPA. 
11. Article 18 (2) Shortened deadlines in open procedures following 
publication of an indicative notice. 
The amendments are aimed at rendering the deadlines more flexible and 
at changing them so that they will in all cases be calculated from the date 
of dispatch of the notice. 
12. Article 19 (4) Shortened deadlines in restricted or negotiated 
procedures following publication of an indicative notice 
The amendments are aimed at rendering the deadlines more flexible and 
at changing them so that they will in all cases be calculated from the date 
of dispatch of the notice. 
13. Article 23 Submission of tenders by electronic means. 
This provision has been simplified so that it now limits itself to the 
essential conditions to be met where Member States authorize the 
submission of tenders by means of transmission other than mail or direct 
delivery of a written tender. Other means of transmission may, in fact, be 
authorized where the means of transmission offer sufficient guarantees of 
ensuring confidentiality and where the it can be ensured that the opening 
of tenders take place after expiration of the relevant deadline. Where 
necessary for reasons of legal proof, it may also be required that such 
tenders be confirmed in writing or by dispatch of a certified copy. 
The Commission considers that the necessary confidentiality can be 
guaranteed in case of tenders presented on diskette or on any other 
medium and submitted under cover directly or by mail. In line with its 
original proposal, the Commission also continues to consider that it is 
technically possible to ensure at least an equivalent level of 
confidentiality using electronic means, in particular electronic mail, for 
the submission of tenders. 
The explicit provision of the original proposal that tenders submitted by 
telephone are not permitted, has been deleted because the economy of the 
text now proposed renders it superfluous. Such means of transmission 
continues, of course, to be unacceptable. 
14. Article 38a 
The terminology of this Article has been corrected, in that reference is 
made to the GPA instead of to the GATT-Agreement. 
15. Article 39 statistical obligations 
Besides correcting the terminology (reference to the GPA), the main 
change is the new and clearer structuring of paragraph 1, letter a. In letter 
d, reference has also been added to the telecommunications services of 
category 8 which are not subject to the GPA. 
Article 2 Amendments to Directive 93/36/EEC 
16. Article 5(1) thresholds. 
The changes are purely of a drafting nature. 
7-
17. Article 5 
A new paragraph has been inserted in conformity with the new ninth 
recital (cf. point 6 above). This and the corresponding change to Directive 
93/37/EEC will ensure that all the public procurement directives contain 
an explicit reminder of the general principles of equal treatment and non­
discrimination. 
18. Article 7 (1) and (2) Information to rejected candidates 
and tenderers. 
See the comments to point 9 above. 
19. Article 10 (la) Shortened deadlines in open procedures 
following publication of an indicative notice. 
See the comments to point 11 above. 
20. Article 11 (3a) Shortened deadlines in restricted or 
negotiated procedures following publication of an 
indicative notice. 
See the comments to point 12 above. 
21. Article 15 (3) Submission of tenders by electronic 
means. 
See the comments to point 13 above. 
22. Article 29. 
The terminology has been corrected. 
23. Article 31 statistical obligations 
The main change, besides the correction of the terminology, is the new 
and clearer structure of paragraph 2, letter a. 
Article 3 Amendments to directive 93/37/EEC. 
24. Article 6 (1) and (2) thresholds. 
The main change consist in the introduction of a separate, unchanged 
threshold for the works contracts referred to" in Article 2(1) (certain 
contracts awarded by entities other than contracting authorities), which 
are not covered by the GPA. 
25. Article 6 
A new paragraph has been inserted in conformity with the new ninth 
recital (cf. point 6 above). This and the corresponding change to Directive 
93/36/EEC (cf. point 17 above) will ensure that all the public 
procurement directives contain an explicit reminder of the general 
principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination. 
26. Article 8 (1) and (2) Information to rejected candidates 
and tenderers. 
See the comments to point 9 above. 
27. Article 12 (2) Shortened deadlines in open procedures 
following publication of an indicative notice. 
See the comments to point 11 above. 
28. Article 13 (4) Shortened deadlines in restricted or 
negotiated procedures following publication of an 
indicative notice. 
See the comments to point 12 above. 
-8-
29. Article 18 (7) Submission of tenders by electronic 
means. 
See the comments to point 13 above. 
30. Article 33a 
The change simply corrects the terminology. 
31. Article 34 Statistical obligations. 
The changes are purely of a drafting nature. 
32. Annex I 
The central Government bodies of Austria, Finland and Sweden have 
been added to Annex I, which is otherwise unchanged. 
33. Article 4 Dates of entry into force. 
The date for implementation mentioned in paragraph 1 is provisional. 
34. Other provisions. 
The deletion of Article 7 (8) of Directive 92/50/EEC and Annexes II to 
IV have not been changed as compared to the Commission's original 
proposal.

Amended proposal for a 
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 
amending 
Directive 92/50/EEC relating to the coordination of procedures for 
the award of public service contracts, Directive 93/36/EEC 
coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts, 
and Directive 93/37/EEC concerning the coordination of procedures 
for the award of public works contracts 
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE 
EUROPEAN UNION 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in 
particular Articles 57 (2), 66 and 100 A, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee , 
Actingin accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 189b of the 
Treaty , 
Whereas by its Decision 94/800/EC concerning the conclusion of the 
multilateral agreements resulting from the Uruguay Round of trade 
negotiations , the Council approved on behalf of the European Union 
inter alia the Agreement on Government Procurement, hereinafter 
referred to as "the Agreement", the purpose of which is to establish an 
international framework of balanced rights and obligations with respect to 
government procurement with a view to achieving liberalization and 
expansion of world trade; 
Whereas Directives 92/50/EEC, 93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC coordinated 
the national procedures relating to services, supply and works contracts, 
in order to introduce equal conditions of competition for such contracts in 
all the Member States; 
Whereas, in view of the international rights and commitments devolving 
on the Union as a result of the acceptance of the GPA, the arrangements 
to be applied to tenderers and products from signatory third countries are 
those defined by the GPA, the scope of which does not, in the case of 
Directive 92/50/EEC, include service contracts listed in Annex IB, R&D 
service contracts mentioned in Category 8 of Annex I A, 
telecommunications service contracts mentioned in Category 5 of Annex 
I A whose CPC numbers are 7524, 7525 and 7526 and financial service 
contracts mentioned in Category 6 of Annex I A in connection with the 
issue, sale, purchase or transfer of securities or other financial 
instruments, and central bank services; 
Whereas, certain provisions of the Agreement introduce more favourable 
conditions for tenderers than those laid down in Directives 92/50/EEC, 
93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC; 
Whereas, when contracts are awarded by contracting authorities within 
the meaning of the agreement, the opportunities for access to public

supplies, works and service contracts available under the Treaty to 
undertakings and products from the Member States must be at least as 
favourable as the conditions of access to public contracts within the 
Union accorded under the arrangements contained in the Agreement to 
undertakings and products from third countries which are signatories to 
the Agreement; 
Whereas it is therefore necessary to adapt and supplement the provisions 
of Directives 92/50/EEC, 93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC; 
Whereas the application of these Directives must be simplified and the 
equilibrium, which has been reached in the current Community 
legislation in the field of public procurement must be maintained as far as 
possible; 
Whereas it is therefore necessary to extend the applicability of certain of 
the adaptations of the Directive 92/50/EEC to all die services covered by 
this Directive; 
Whereas the provision in Article VI(4) of the GPA to the effect that 
entities shall not seek or accept, in a manner which would have the effect 
of precluding competition, advice which may be used in the preparation 
of specifications for a specific procurement from a firm that may have a 
commercial interest in the procurement, is implicit in Article 3(2) of 
Directive 92/50/EEC, Article 5(7) of Directive 93/36/EEC and Article 
6(6) of Directive 93/37/EEC and whereas therefore it is not appropriate to 
amend these Directives to that effect; 
Whereas public authorities are aware of the consequences of late payment 
on the financial well-being of economic operators and in particular small 
and medium-sized enterprises, and wish to be consistent with good and 
fair practice as well as similar in their practice of prompt payment to the 
main international actors; Whereas steps to that end have been 
recommended in Commission Recommendation of 12 May 1995 on 
payment periods in commercial transactions ; 
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE : 
Article 1 
Directive 92/50/EEC is hereby amended as follows without prejudice to 
the international rights and commitments devolving on the Union as a

relative advantages of the tender selected as well as 
the name of the successful tenderer. 
However, contracting authorities may decide that 
certain information on the contract award, referred

commercial interests of particular undertakings, 
public or private, or might prejudice fair 
competition between service providers. 
2. Contracting authorities shall promptly inform 
candidates and tenderers of the decisions taken on 
contract awards, including the reasons why they

COMPETITIVENESS AND EMPLOYMENT IMPACT STATEMENT 
I. Title of the proposal 
Amended Proposal for a Parliament and Council Directive amending Directives 
92/50/EEC (public service contracts), 93/36/EEC (public supply contracts) and 
93/37/EEC (public works contracts). 
II. What is the main reason for introducing the measures? 
The taking into account in the above-mentioned Directives of the international 
obligations deriving from the new WTO Agreement on Government Procurement 
(GPA). 
Ill Features of the businesses concerned 
1. In particular, are many SMEs involved? 
Public supply, public works and public service contracts are in many 
cases likely to interest SMEs, either directly or indirectly. 
2. Are they concentrated in regions of the Community which are: 
eligible for national regional aid schemes? No. 
eligible for ERDF assistance? No. 
IV. What direct obligations do these measures impose on businesses? 
These measures impose few direct obligations on businesses. If businesses decide 
to participate in an award procedure, which is subject to the Directives, then they 
will be obliged, for instance, to submit the documentation required by the 
contracting authority and to submit tenders in writing . Where an undertaking 
avails itself of the possibility of submitting tenders by telex, telegram or telefax, 
then it may be obliged to confirm this by letter. 
V. What indirect obligations are local authorities likely to impose on 
businesses? 
Local authorities are likely to impose few indirect obligations on businesses as a 
result of these measures. Given that the conditions for shortening certain 
deadlines are slightly more strict than previously, local authorities would be likely 
to require undertakings to maintain the validity of their tender for a longer period 
where the authority is no longer able or willing to shorten deadlines. 
VI. Do anv special measures apply in respect of SMEs? 
This proposal does not contain any new measures applicable to SMEs. 
VII. What is the likely effect on: 
1. Business competitiveness? 
The abovementioned Directives are aimed at boosting business competitiveness 
across the Community. The amendments pursue the same aim. 
2. Employment? 
The impact on employment can be regarded as limited. 
VIII. Have both sides of industry been consulted? Please indicate their opinions. 
Both sides of industry have commented largely on the original proposal, directly 
to the Commission, in a hearing organised by the European Parliament and 
through the consultation of the Economic and Social Committee.
