Position on the evaluation of the EU public procurement directives

CONTEXT

Amongst regulatory issues, public procurement is of high relevance for postal operators. PostEurop Members welcome the Commission consultation1 on the evaluation of three legislative acts that regulate public procurement in the EU (‘how to buy’): Directives 2014/23/EU (the Concessions Directive), 2014/24/EU (the Public Procurement Directive) and 2014/25/EU (the Utilities Directive). The application and the development of the EU public procurement are indeed of much importance to PostEurop Members.
PostEurop Members are primarily concerned by the Utilities Directive, which applies to different postal segments and because a number of postal operators qualify as “public undertaking”.
As a consequence, PostEurop will focus its input mainly on that piece of legislation for the consultation.
