Impact

On 21 May, the European Commission published its official follow-up to the outlook opinion on public procurement.
The European Commission highlights the common ground between the opinion and the results of the Commission’s public consultation on topics such as simplification, “Made in Europe”, digitalisation, and social and green procurement.
This could indicate that some of the opinion’s recommendations will find their way into the European Commission’s revision proposal, which is due on 1 July.
