Traduction de «Marché pour la fourniture d'énergie » (Français → Anglais) :

to contracts for the supply of energy or of fuels for the production of energy, if awarded by contracting entities engaged in an activity referred to in Article 3(1), Article 3(3) or Article 7(a).

The Council adopted on 20 March 2003 both the Common Positions on the coordination of procedures for the award of public supply contracts, public service contracts and public works contracts ("classical" directive), as well as on coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors ("utilities" directive).

In order for renewable energy technologies to move fully into the mainstream of Community energy supplies (mass markets), and to compete in the single European Energy Market, different legislative frameworks should be amended to provide a more “level playing field”.

Last year the Commission adopted a package of proposed amendments to simplify and modernise the Public Procurement Directives: one on co-ordination of procedures for the award of public supplies contracts, public works contracts and public services contracts (COM(2000)275, 30/08/00) and the other co-ordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy and transport sectors (COM(2000)276, 30/08/00).

* exclude services or sectors which in a given Member State operate in an effectively competitive environment from the scope of Directive 93/38/EEC concerning procurement in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (in the meantime, the Commission will exempt telecommunication services operating under conditions of effective competition as provided for under article 8 of the current Directive 93/38) * introduce a new procedure ("competitive dialogue") to facilitate technical dialogue between suppliers and the procurement entity, particularly for complex contracts * allow more extensive use of framework contracts (bas ...[+++]ed on lists of approved suppliers), particularly in areas where products and prices can evolve rapidly (e.g. information technology), subject to transparency and competition safeguards * establish uniform rules for all types of concessions, including notably services concessions (works concessions are covered by the existing Directive) * prepare the procurement Directives for electronic procurement * consolidating the three Directives on public supplies (93/36/EC), works (93/37/EC) and services (92/50/EEC) into a single Directive, once the work on interpretation and adjustment of the existing legislation is complete.

Following the adoption in 1971 and 1976 of the Directives on public works and public supply contracts, the Commission turned its attention to the difficult task of opening up to Europe-wide competition public procurement in four sensitive sectors traditionally excluded from the European dimension, i.e. water, transport, energy and telecommunications.
