Text tabled : A7-0326/2011

  Antonio Cancian (PPE), in writing. (IT) I voted in favour of the report presented by Ms Rühle on the modernisation of public procurement, as I think a review of the matter is appropriate, in order to bring it more up to date. It was initially necessary to establish strict standards to ensure a uniform framework within Member States, based on criteria of transparency and free competition. Now that these principles have become rooted in the Union, I share her opinion that it is appropriate to revise the rules in order to make them more flexible and modern.

Public procurement plays a significant role in the Europe 2020 strategy, which is why we must ensure that this discipline helps to guarantee efficient use of public funds. In particular, through the appropriate use of this financial instrument, support can be provided for energy efficiency, innovation and environmental protection.

I appreciate the call for the prevention and suppression of corruption, to be implemented through the use of more transparent and controlled selection procedures, in cooperation with Member States. I also share the desire to make it easier for SMEs to access the public procurement market, which would thereby also enable small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in this significant economic sector.
