Presentation

On September 25th at 14h00 (CET) and 8 ED, a webinar will be held by the team research of University of Paris Est-Créteil, in order to keep-on and strengthen the on-going project on “Principles of Public Contracts in Europe”. The webinar will be held on the Big blue bottom platform from 14h to 15h in French and in English from 15h to the end (most part of the webinar) : https://bbb-conseils.u-pec.fr/b/ste-gkn-jg4

As indicated, this online event will focus on national studies which had not been presented last December in Paris – with original and accurate presentations dealing with the recognition and functions of principles in Croatia (Dr. Marko Turudic), Denmark (Rasmus Horskjær Nielsen), Italy (Matteo Pignatti) and Luxembourg (Dr. Hicham Rassafi). The discussion on national studies will be moderated by Pr. Patricia Valcárcel Fernández.

Special attention will be paid for cross studies presentations (1st and 3rd part) in the coming collective book, with key topics such as the implementation of non-discrimination principle (Dr. Martin Morales), methodological issues for qualifying the contracts (Dr. Mathias Amilhat), principle of best value (Pr. Pierre Bourdon) and the on-going consolidation of principles for sustainable procurement (Pr. Lydia Lebon) and CSR requirements (Carole Cavero). The Covid-19 crisis sheds new light on these issues – especially in the way to modify the interpretation of core principles.

The on-line debate will be moderated by Jean-Bernard Auby and Gabriella Racca and concluding remarks by Laurence Folliot Lalliot.
