A YEAR IN REVIEW
A YEAR IN REVIEW
The year 2013 was characterized by several achievements for CEEP.
Here we will mention the main ones, therefore this is not an exhaustive list. None of those achievements
would have been reached without the strong and direct commitment of CEEP members either in lobby or
social dialogue activities. A good example of a solid and united “CEEP community”!
The Public Procurement Package
One of the main achievements for CEEP was the result of a long lasting lobby action concerning the Public
Procurement Package. In this respect, there are certainly two results, common both to the Public procure-
ment and the concession which that represents a stepping stone:
The clear recognition in secondary law of the freedom of organisation of public authorities when provid-
ing public services
CEEP strongly lobbied for the addition, at the beginning of the two proposals, of a provision reminding
that those pieces of legislation do not interfere with the provisions of the Treaties regarding the freedom
of authorities when organising the provision of SGIs.
Indeed, it was essential to mirror the new provisions brought by the Lisbon Treaty (article 14, Protocol 26)
recognising that authorities have at their disposal a tool box for the provision of public services, in the three
directives.
At the end, in all proposals, provisions stating that the Directive does not affect the freedom of authorities
have been included. The Public Procurement Directive even clearly refers, in its Article 1, to article 14 TFUE
and Protocol 26.
More generally, the debates have encouraged the European Commission to more systematically recall the
Treaty principles in its initiatives impacting services of general economic interest at European level.
Setting an adequate framework for the in-house provision of public services
This has been the number 1 priority of CEEP, both on the public procurement and concessions dossier, with
the aim of ensuring that the proposal for a positive definition of in-house and public-public cooperation
in the public procurement directives is maintained and of ensuring that this definition is adequate and re-
sponds to the need from the field, notably by allowing private participation in the controlled entities.
CEEP realised several important achievements on this issue:
• Despite opposition to the clear recognition of public-public cooperation in the EU secondary law, the
European Parliament and the Council recognised it and maintained it in the final texts;
• Although we did not find full support for our position, based on the Regulation 1370/2007 that allows
any private participation, the co-legislators did not formally closed the door to private participation in
the in-house entity. This can be seen as a first move from a strict application of the ECJ case law;
• The co-legislators also lowered the average turnover carried for the controlling authority from 90% to
80%;
• The final texts also provide for more adequate provisions regarding public-public cooperation (hori-
zontal), with no reference to a “joint” mission or any transfer of power.
More specifically for the Public Procurement Directives, we achieved major results in:
Ensuring equal treatment of providers
From the very beginning, CEEP has voiced that the modernisation of EU public procurement rules should
be the opportunity to acknowledge the evolutions of markets and ensure a level playing field between all
operators, whether publicly or privately owned. CEEP supported the proposal of the European Parliament
to exclude from the Directives operators, whatever their ownership, when their exclusive of special rights
CEEP - ACTIVITY REPORT 2013 5
A YEAR IN REVIEW have been granted through a public and transparent procedure. This guarantees the equal treatment be- tween public and private companies which have been granted a tendered special or exclusive right and ensures the coherence with several principles laid in the TFEU such as the principles of non-discrimination, impartiality and neutrality vis-à-vis the system of property ownership. Designing adequate rules for modifications of contracts The European Commission proposal suggested very restrictive rules for the modification of contracts as in the proposal on the award of concession contracts. This would have obliged providers to re-tender should any need for a modification of an on-going contract appear. CEEP asked for lighter provision, notably regarding the definition of a substantial modification of a con- tract (which requested a new tendering). In general, the provisions on modification of contracts have been clarified and simplified. In particular, thresholds defining if a modification is seen as substantial (and there- fore need to be re-tendered) have been increased (from 5% to 10% for services and 15% for works). Re-thinking the special regime for social and health services The European Commission, in its proposals, questioned the previous distinction between A/B Services, which only imposed to services listed in annex IIB (2004/18/EC) and annex XVIIB (2004/17/EC) require- ments regarding technical specifications and the publication of the awarding notice. If it could be legiti- mate to revise the content of the B list (services which have a limited cross-border dimension), the new regime suggested by the European Commission neither simplified nor flexibilised public procurement for this type of service. CEEP suggested a simple alternative, based on a unique article, and that did not go beyond the current regime for B services - which had shown its value. An alternative to this first proposal could have been to substantially increase the thresholds applied to this category of services. Besides, CEEP was of the opinion that some services then excluded by the EC from this “light” regime could have been re-integrated, as for example legal services. Finally, during the negotiations, CEEP obtained that legal services are re-excluded from the scope of the Directives. The final compromise maintains a “special regime” for the social services. Contracting authori- ties have now to publish a contract notice or a prior information notice and shall make known the results of the procurement procedures by means of contract award notices, possibly by grouping them and publish- ing them on a quarterly basis. Fostering a voluntary use of social and environmental criteria in public procurement In its capacity of social partner and representative of members committed to corporate social responsibil- ity, CEEP welcomed the possibility to broaden awarding criteria to other considerations than the lowest price. Nevertheless, it was also of primary importance that these proposals remain flexible and on a volun- tary basis in order to ensure that the contracting authority can best meet its own needs. CEEP called the European Parliament and the Council to keep this line and avoid any mandatory use of environmental and social criteria in tendering procedures. Furthermore, CEEP very much supported the development on the use of labels or equivalents in award procedures, echoing its members’ commitment to develop the CEEP-CSR Label rewarding good practices of public services providers. More complex and controversial was the lobby on the award of concessions contracts. Ahead of the pub- lication of the proposal by the European Commission in December 2011 CEEP had already experienced years of heated debates with DG MARKT about the opportunity or not to have such rules at European level. When the European Commission published a very dense and exhaustive text, very far from the light-touch approach presented by Commissionaire Barnier, CEEP expressed doubts about the added value of the pro- posal, but decided however to adopt a pragmatic approach by trying to ensure, through constant and sharp lobby action, the best possible final result for public services providers. In this context, some major improve- ments need to be highlighted compared to the initial EC proposal and based on CEEP key priorities: 6 CEEP - ACTIVITY REPORT 2013
A YEAR IN REVIEW
Enabling an adequate choice of the external provider: more flexibility in award criteria
CEEP asked for the possibility for authorities to conduct a global analysis of tenders. Any mandatory
weighting of awarding criteria needed to be removed from the proposal since this provision would have
limited a priori the choice of authorities.
One of the major outcomes of our work is the simplification and flexibilisation of provisions on award cri-
teria, now mentioning a “listing in descending order of importance” of those criteria rather than the initial
“weighting”. This should give authorities more room for manoeuvre to select their partner and support
innovation.
Enabling the modification of contracts
Concession contracts are very complex and need flexibility to fully meet their objectives. CEEP opposed
the very restrictive rules for the modification of contracts as in the public procurement dossier and asked
for lighter provision, notably regarding the definition of a substantial modification of a contract (which
requests a new tendering).
The article has been reformulated in the last compromise, in order to clarify the condition for a modifica-
tion of a contract without tendering. In particular, thresholds defining if a modification is seen as substan-
tial (and therefore need to be re-tendered) have been increased (from 5% to 10% for services contracts and
15% for work contracts).
