REGULATION (EU) 2022/1031 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 23 June 2022

on the access of third-country economic operators, goods and services to the Union’s public procurement and concession markets and procedures supporting negotiations on access of Union economic operators, goods and services to the public procurement and concession markets of third countries (International Procurement Instrument – IPI)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

 

(1)

In accordance with Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), the Union is to define and pursue common policies and actions, and improve cooperation in all fields in international relations in order, inter alia, to encourage the integration of all countries into the world economy, including through the progressive abolition of restrictions on international trade.

(6)

The plurilateral WTO Agreement on Government Procurement and the Union trade agreements that include provisions on public procurement provide for market access for Union economic operators only to the public procurement or concession markets of third countries that are parties to those agreements.

 

(7)

Where a third country is a Party to the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement or has concluded a trade agreement with the Union that includes provisions on public procurement, the Commission should follow the consultation mechanisms or dispute settlement procedures set out in those agreements where the restrictive practices relate to public procurement covered by market access commitments undertaken by that third country towards the Union.

 

(8)

Many third countries are reluctant to open their public procurement or concession markets to international competition, or to improve access to those markets. As a consequence, Union economic operators face restrictive public...
