Présentation

Dans la plupart des Etats membres de l'Union européenne, le cadre normatif et jurisprudentiel qui régit les contrats publics se caractérise par des références croissantes aux principes. Ces références se multiplient, dans la jurisprudence – interne ou européenne - et dans les textes lato senso (directives européennes, lois ou règlements nationaux, recommandations, guides de bonnes pratiques, lignes directrices). Une grande diversité matérielle doit être étudiée: principes fondamentaux de la commande publique, principes contractuels, principes supplétifs, principes d'orientation. Ce colloque international, qui finalise une recherche engagée pendant 2 ans, entend étudier et clarifier cette diversité de renvois aux principes, dans le cadre d'une réflexion plus générale sur l'existence d'un droit commun des contrats publics en Europe.

In most EU member States, the legal and judicial framework applying to public contracts refers to principles in a broad meaning. Such references can be observed both in the case law (national or at the European level) and in the relevant normative framework (understood in a wide sense, i.e. non only binding norms: EU primary and secondary law, national laws (legislative or regularoty), but also guiding principles of public procurement endorsed by contracting authorities, purchase guide for procurements. Such diversity of references has to be appraised, between the core principles of public procurement, the principles as a frame of references, the usual contractual principles or also principles understood as a general orientation. This international symposium, which finalizes a research project began 2 years ago, aims at providing an in-depth comprehension of this proliferation of references to principles, within the more general perspective of the existence of a commun Framework for public contracts in Europe.
