Applicable threshold for the obligation to consider the division of contracts into lots

Article 58 of the Law of 17 June 2016 on public procurement requires all contracting authorities to consider the division of contracts into lots and, where the contracting authority decides that it would not be appropriate to divide the contract into lots, to indicate, in the procurement documents or in the information referred to in Article 164, §1 of the Law of 17 June 2016 (“Information to keep”), the main reasons for the contracting authority’s decision. Article 58 transposes Article 46 of Directive 2014/24/EU and aims at facilitating SMEs’ access to public procurement and, in doing so, increasing competition.

Attention should be paid to the scope of this obligation. Article 58 specifies that this obligation only applies to “supplies, services and works contracts whose estimated amount is equal to or greater than the revisable European threshold for European advertising as applicable to supplies and services contracts awarded by the federal contracting authorities”.

The threshold referenced is EUR 135,000; this threshold is referred to in Article 11, paragraph 1, 2° of the Royal Decree of 18 April 2017 on the award of public contracts in the classical sectors, which lays down the European thresholds. The wording of this provision being somewhat ambiguous, the explanatory statement to the Law of 17 June 2016 states that this threshold, initially fixed only for supplies and services of the federal authority, is also applicable both to works contracts and to all contracting authorities.

To strengthen the Single Market and as part of the continuous effort to stimulate investment in the EU, today the Commission has put forward an initiative to carry out procurement more efficiently and in a sustainable manner, while making full use of digital technologies to simplify and accelerate procedures.

Strasbourg, 3 October 2017

Vice-President for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness Jyrki Katainen said: “We have put investment centre stage since taking office in November 2014, notably by attracting private capital with the Investment Plan for Europe. Now we want to unlock the full potential of public procurement in ensuring that the €2 trillion spent yearly in public services and products boost our economy, spur innovation and help meet sustainability goals.

Elżbieta Bieńkowska, Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, added: “We encourage public authorities to use public procurement strategically as a tool to obtain better value for taxpayers money and to contribute to a more innovative, sustainable, inclusive and competitive economy. The Commission will continue to assist Member States in doing so, and invites public authorities at all levels of government and other stakeholders to work in a broad partnership.”

Today’s initiative has four main strands:

Workers in 11 central and eastern EU countries are paid up to €944 less per month than workers in Germany when costs of living are taken into account, according to a study published on 29 September 2017, by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

Shockingly, the difference in net monthly wages, when adjusted for the composition of the workforce and structure of the economy, is larger than when only costs of living are considered.

 

Workers are paid even less – up to €1058 less – than workers in Germany when factors including the age and education of the workforce, and the sectors and occupations that the workforce are in, are also taken into account.

 

Workers in Romania are the worst paid, followed by workers from Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia and Croatia.

Redactor – Legislatia Muncii si HR

 

Transferul contributiilor sociale de la angajator la angajat este un subiect care a atras atentia autoritatilor europene, iar in acest sens Confederatia Europeana a Sindicatelor (CES) si Confederatia Internationala a Sindicatelor (CIS) au reactionat la aceasta decizie a Executivului roman.

Asa se face ca cele doua autoritati europene cer Romaniei sa renunte la aceasta decizie, aratandu-se chiar ingrijorate cu privire la noile hotarari luate de guvernul roman.
