Articoli Correlati: EU Parliament - International Procurement Instrument - access to business

On December 14^th, 2021, Parliament supported the general objective of the legislative proposal on the International Procurement Instrument (IPI), but changed its scope and the discretionary powers of EU countries in its application. The IPI encourages the opening of public procurement markets of countries that protect this sector by introducing measures that restrict access to EU public tenders for companies from non-EU countries that do not offer similar access to businesses European. The tool would empower the Commission to determine whether, third-country firms should be subject to an IPI measure and also what kind of measures and to what extent. MEPs specifically found agreement on two types of IPI measures that the Commission can choose to remedy the inequality of access to public procurement markets: adjusting the bid score of companies subject to the IPI (without affecting the price to be paid to the successful bidder), or exclude the company from the tender.
