Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts
Директива 2004/17/ЕО на Европейския парламент и на Съвета от 31 март 2004 г. относно координиране на процедурите за възлагане на обществени поръчки от възложители, извършващи дейност във водоснабдяването, енергетиката, транспорта и пощенските услуги
Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors
– като взе предвид доклада на Комисията по вътрешния пазар и защита на потребителите и становището на Комисията по правни въпроси ( A6‑0226/2007 ),
– having regard to the report of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs ( A6‑0226/2007 ),
A. като има предвид, че общностното право в областта на обществените поръчки има за цел да отвори публичните пазари в държавите-членки за трансгранична конкуренция, като по този начин създавава равни условия за доставчиците и подкрепя развитието на вътрешния пазар;
A. whereas Community law on public procurement aims to open public markets in the Member States to cross-border competition, thereby creating a level playing field for providers and supporting the development of the internal market;
Б. като има предвид, че своевременното и правилно транспониране и прилагане на законодателството в областта на обществените поръчки значително допринася за постигането на целите на програмата на ЕС за по-добро регулиране;
B. whereas the timely and correct transposition and implementation of public procurement legislation significantly contribute to meeting the objectives of the EU's better regulation programme;
В. като има предвид, че новата Директива за публичния сектор (2004/18/EC) обединява три предходни директиви, а именно за строителство, услуги и доставки, като по този начин се поясняват и осъвременяват предишните разпоредби;
C. whereas the new public sector Directive (2004/18/EC) brings together three previous Directives for works, services and supplies, thereby clarifying and modernising the previous rules;
Г. като има предвид, че новите директиви въвеждат нови разпоредби и незадължителни правила, които осигуряват по-голяма гъвкавост на възлагащите органи, и като има предвид, че общо повишение на ефективността в областта на обществените поръчки може да се постигне чрез въвеждане на незадължителните елементи на новата Директива за публичния сектор (2004/18/EC), тъй като те намаляват разходите по транзакциите;
D. whereas the new directives introduce new provisions and optional rules which provide increased flexibility to purchasing authorities, and whereas general efficiency increases can be achieved in public procurement by introducing the optional elements of the new public sector Directive (2004/18/EC) as these reduce transaction costs;
Д. като има предвид, че новата Директива (2004/17/ЕО) относно координиране на процедурите за възлагане на обществени поръчки от възложители, извършващи дейност във водоснабдяването, енергетиката, транспорта и пощенските услуги въвежда механизъм за освобождаване на дейностите, които са напълно отворени за конкуренцията в ЕС;
E. whereas the new Directive (2004/17/EC) coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors introduces an exemption mechanism for activities fully open to competition across the EU;
Е. като има предвид, че крайният срок за транспониране на новите Директиви в националното законодателство е 31 януари 2006 г., а към момента само двайсет от двайсет и седем държави-членки са ги транспонирали; като има предвид, че забавянето на транспонирането създава условия за правна неравнопоставеност в ЕС;
F. whereas the deadline for transposing the new Directives into national legislation was 31 January 2006 and whereas, to date, only 20 out of 27 Member States have transposed them; whereas delayed transposition creates an uneven legal playing-field across the EU;
Ж. като има предвид, че пред търговията могат да изникнат препятствия, ако няма последователно приложение на всички незадължителни елементи на новата Директива за публичния сектор от всички държави-членки;
G. whereas some barriers to trade may also emerge if all optional elements in the new public sector Directive are not consistently implemented by all Member States;
З. като има предвид, че в процеса на транспониране Комисията предлага на държавите-членки единствено своята доброволна подкрепа, която, следователно, не винаги е напълно гарантирана;
H. whereas the Commission is limited to offering its assistance on a voluntary basis to Member States in the transposition process, which is consequently not always effectively ensured;
И. като има предвид, че най-често цитираните препятствия за успешното транспониране са липсата на правна експертиза на национално ниво или на човешки ресурси, както и липсата на политическа воля в държавите-членки;
I. whereas the most frequently quoted barriers to satisfactory transposition are the lack of national legal expertise or human resources and the lack of political will in the Member States;
Й. като има предвид, че резултатите относно вътрешния пазар към декември 2006 г. показват значително подобрение на степента на транспониране на директивите;
J. whereas the internal market scoreboard of December 2006 notes significant improvements in transposition rates;
К. като има предвид, че по-голямата част от обществените поръчки, предмет на директивите на ЕС, е в съответствие с правилата и, следователно, твърденията, че вътрешният пазар в тази област е в упадък и застрашава постигането на целите на Лисабонския дневен ред, са неоснователни;
K. whereas the majority of public procurement subject to the Directives complies with the rules, and therefore allegations that the internal market in public procurement is failing and threatens the achievement of Lisbon Agenda targets are unfounded;
Л. като има предвид, че независимо от това продължават да съществуват проблеми при събирането на данни относно обществените поръчки, свързани по-специално с големия брой на договарящите органи и непълното документиране относно неправилното прилагане на правилата;
L. whereas nonetheless, there are problems in gathering data on public procurement which are linked in particular to the large number of contracting authorities and to the incomplete record on misapplications of the rules;
М. като има предвид, че Комисията е загрижена за броя на незаконно възложените директни поръчки;
M. whereas the Commission is concerned about the number of illegal direct awards;
Н. като има предвид, че незаконно възложените директни поръчки се дължат на няколко фактора, сред които: неправилно разбиране на правилата на обществените поръчки, както са изложени в директивите, на принципите на Договора за създаване на ЕО и на съответните решения на Съда на Европейските общности; грешки, допуснати при сложните обществени поръчки; разширяване на обхвата или продължителността на първоначалното приложно поле; предполагаеми корупционни практики; заобикаляне на прекалено дълги срокове, свързани с огласяването в ЕС; както и ненужно усложнени национални изисквания към офертите като например комплексни договорености за покупки в електронен вид;
N. whereas illegal direct awards occur as a result of a number of factors including misunderstanding of the public procurement rules as set out in the Directives, Treaty principles and relevant rulings from the European Court of Justice; errors made in complex procurements; extensions of frameworks beyond their original scope or duration; alleged corrupt practices; the circumvention of lengthy timescales associated with EU advertising; and unnecessarily elaborate national tendering requirements, such as complex electronic purchasing arrangements;
О. като има предвид загрижеността, че съществува възможност за неправилно приложение на критериите за околната среда или социалните критерии, заложени в новата Директива за публичния сектор;
O. whereas there are concerns that the environmental or social criteria laid down in the new public sector Directive have the potential to be misapplied;
П. като има предвид, че възможността на Комисията да предприема своевременни правни действия в случаите на неправилно приложение на разпоредбите е ограничена от липсата на достатъчни човешки ресурси;
P. whereas the Commission's ability to systematically take prompt legal action in cases of misapplication of the rules is limited by a lack of adequate human resources;
Р. като има предвид, че степента на транспониране и прилагане може да бъде повишена чрез насърчаване на професионализма и най-добрите практики в политиките за обществените поръчки на ниво държави-членки;
Q. whereas the record on transposition and implementation could be improved by the promotion of professionalism and best practices in public procurement policies at Member State level;
С. като има предвид, че в някои държави-членки най-добрите практики са кодифицирани в ефективни системи за разглеждане на обществените поръчки;
R. whereas in a number of Member States, best practices have been codified in effective procurement review systems;
1. приветства неотдавнашното осъвременяване и опростяване на правилата за обществените поръчки в ЕС, което значително повиши ефективността на процедурите на обществените поръчки в Съюза;
Welcomes the recent modernisation and simplification of the EU public procurement rules, which has significantly boosted efficiency in EU public procurement processes;
Транспониране на общностното законодателство в областта на обществените поръчки
Transposition of Community legislation on public procurement
Прилагане на общностното законодателство в областта на обществените поръчки
Implementation of Community legislation on public procurement
9. призовава държавите-членки да предоставят на Комисията достатъчно данни за транспонирането на директивите относно обществените поръчки; настоява също така държавите-членки и Комисията да работят заедно за по-доброто събиране на данни и по-ефективния контрол върху транспонирането и проблемите, свързани с прилагането;
Calls on the Member States to provide the Commission with sufficient data on the implementation of the public procurement directives; urges moreover Member States and the Commission to work together towards increasing the capacity for better data collection and for better policing of transposition and implementation problems;
Подобряване на най-добрите практики в областта на обществените поръчки

Given that public procurement accounts for in excess of 16% of EU Gross Domestic Product, and in the context of the challenges posed by EU enlargement, favouritism for national champions and other failures to award contracts on a competitive basis, are a continued threat to the health of a now expanded Internal Market.

Although many accusations are frivolous, favouritism in awarding contracts tends to occur in politically sensitive cases, and because the levels of professionalism in public procurement are not consistent across the public sector.

These options can reduce improper procurement practices, but for example, insofar as they lead to aggregation in demand or streamlining, care needs to be taken to ensure SMEs can still bid on a level playing field with larger suppliers.

Electronic purchasing techniques and the use of Frameworks should generate cost and efficiency savings but there are also concerns about improper use, for example successful frameworks can be victims of their own success and frameworks can grow illegally beyond their advertised scope and value.
