Government says public procurement reform anticipates Brussels' priorities

The government argues that the Portuguese public procurement reform anticipates the priorities defined by Brussels on this matter. The European proposal establishes the consolidation of the current legislative framework into a single regulation directly applicable in all Member States. The Portuguese authorities consider that the country is already aligned with these Community guidelines. This analysis arises in the context of the presentation of new European rules for public procurement, which aim to simplify and standardize public procurement processes throughout the European Union.
