欧盟每年的公共采购额高达2.6万亿欧元,占欧盟GDP的15%。欧盟委员会正寻求通过改革规则,将公共采购作为提升欧洲产业竞争力的战略工具。
(德国之声中文网)法新社报道指出,欧盟每年的公共采购额高达2.6万亿欧元,相当于欧盟GDP的15%。其中,欧盟27国每年进行招标的公共合同总值约为6000亿欧元。
欧盟工业部长斯特凡·塞茹尔内(Stephane Sejourne)对媒体表示:“在当前中国、印度、美国和其他主要大国都在利用公共采购推进其产业和经济战略之际,公共采购既是一项战略工具,也是一项强有力的政策杠杆。”
欧盟委员会公布了一项改革现行政府采购规则的提案。该提案包括创建一个专门用于公共招标的欧洲统一平台,简化小型公司参与公共招标的流程,减少文书工作。此外,提案要求地方政府在评估供应商时应关注不同的标准,例如关键基础设施、网络安全、供应链安全以及“欧洲优先”的考量,而不仅仅是报价。提案要求公共合同的授予必须基于“最佳性价比”原则,其中质量标准在总评分中至少占30%的权重;对于劳动密集型合同,该比例至少需达到50%。
塞茹尔内表示,地方政府、欧盟国家、市政当局和地区将负责制定这些标准,并加以实施,最终选择购买欧洲或本地产品。他举例说,如果地方当局选择中国产巴士,布鲁塞尔方面今后将不能再因此受到指责。“我们现在给了他们选择欧洲巴士的机会。”他说。
这些措施并未设定全面强制“购买欧洲产品”的要求,但允许欧洲相关部门排除那些欧洲成分在总价值中低于50%的公共采购投标,限制仅由欧盟经营者参与,并在战略性行业中优先考虑欧盟企业。不过,与欧盟签署了贸易协定且在公共采购方面实行互惠原则的国家,将不会被排除在外。
