Public procurement: Business opportunity or Holy Grail?
Article Abstract:
The public procurement opportunities outlined by the Commission are fundamentally unattainable, hampered by practical, legal and political barriers. Public procurement law is flagrantly violated and purchasers complain that the EU rules are too inflexible. The Commission is addressing some of the problems, concentrating on the issue of implementation, which should be welcomed by industry.
