                               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
 ---pagebreak--- 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.
 ---pagebreak---                                               -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.
 ---pagebreak---                                                 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.

                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.

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 I B , 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

92/50/EEC, include service contracts listed in Annex I B, R&D service

                             insofar as products not covered by
                             Annex II are concerned, where the
                             estimated value net of value added
                             tax (VAT) is not less than the
                             equivalent in ecus of 200 000
                             SDRs;
                   (ii)      the contracting authorities listed in
                             Annex I whose estimated value net

                             of defence, this shall apply only to
                             contracts     involving     products
                             covered by Annex II.
          (b)      This Directive shall apply to public supply
                   contracts whose estimated value equals or

                   with Article 9(2).
          (c)      The value in ecus and in national currencies
                   of the thresholds laid down in paragraph 1
                   shall, in principle, be revised every two
                   years with effect from 1 January 1988. The
                   calculation of these values shall be based on
                   the average daily values of these currencies
                   expressed in ecus and of the ecu expressed
                   in special drawing rights over the 24 months
                   terminating on the last day of August
                   immediately preceding the 1 January
                   revision.
                   The method of calculation laid down in this
                   subparagraph shall be reviewed, on a
                   proposal from the Commission, by the
                   Advisory Committee for Public Contracts,
                   in principle two years after its initial
                   application.
          (d)      The thresholds laid down in paragraph 1 and
                   the values of the thresholds expressed in
                   ecus and in national currencies shall be
                   published in the Official Journal of the
                   European Communities at the beginning of
                   the month of November which follows the
                   revision laid down in the first paragraph of

           for rejection of his application or his tender and any
           tenderer who has made an admissible tender of the
           characteristics and relative advantages of the tender
           selected as well as the name of the successful
           tenderer.
 ---pagebreak---                                  -17-
          However, contracting authorities may decide that
          certain information on the contract award, referred
          to in the preceding subparagraph, shall be withheld
          where release of such information would impede
          law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the
          public interest or would prejudice the legitimate
          commercial interests of particular undertakings,
          public or private, or might prejudice fair
          competition between suppliers.
   2.     Contracting authorities shall promptly inform
          candidates and tenderers of the decisions taken on
          contract awards, including the reasons why they
          have decided not to award a contract for which there
          has been an invitation to tender or to start the
          procedure again, and shall do so in writing if

          days, but in any case not less than 22 days, from the

                 that each tender contains all the information
                 necessary for its evaluation;
                 that the confidentiality of tenders is
                 maintained pending their evaluation, and
                 if necessary, for reasons of legal proof, that
                 such tenders are confirmed as soon as
                 possible in writing or by the dispatch of a
                 certified copy;

    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.
 ---pagebreak--- 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.
