Proposal for a regulation
Article 8 a (new)
Article 8a IPI measures 1. Where the Commission finds, following an investigation and consultations pursuant to Article 6, that a third-country measure or practice exists, it may, if it considers it to be in the interest of the Union, impose an IPI measure by means of an implementing act. An IPI measure shall only apply if the main object of the procurement procedure falls within the scope of the implementing act, as specified in accordance with paragraph 7 (a). The procurement procedure shall not be designed with the intention of excluding it from the scope of this Regulation. 2. The IPI measure shall be determined on the basis of the following criteria, in light of available information and the Union’s interest: (a) the proportionality of the IPI measure regarding the third-country measure or practice; (b) the availability of alternative sources of supply for the goods and services concerned, in order to avoid or minimise a significant negative impact on contracting authorities or contracting entities. 3. The IPI measure shall only apply to procurement procedures with an estimated value of at least EUR 15 000 000 net of value-added tax for works and concessions, and of at least EUR 5 000 000 net of value-added tax for goods and services. 4. The IPI measure shall also apply in the case of specific contracts awarded under a dynamic purchasing system, when those dynamic purchasing systems were subject to the IPI measure, with the exception of specific contracts the estimated value of which is below the respective values set out in Article 8 of Directive 2014/23/EU, Article 4 of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 15 of Directive 2014/25/EU. The IPI measure shall not apply to procedures for the award of contracts based on a framework agreement. The IPI measure shall also not apply to individual lots to be awarded according to Article 5 (10) of Directive 2014/24/EU or Article16 (10) of Directive 2014/25/EU. 5. In its implementing act, the Commission may decide, within the scope defined in paragraph 6 of this Article, to restrict the access of operators, goods or services from third countries to procurement procedures by requiring contracting authorities or contracting entities to: (a) impose a score adjustment measure on tenders submitted by economic operators originating in the that third country; or (b) exclude tenders submitted by economic operators originating in that third country; or (c) impose a combination of (a) and (b), if different sectors or categories of goods and services are subject to IPI measures.; 6. The score adjustment measure referred to in paragraph 5(a) shall apply only for the purpose of the evaluation and ranking of the tenders. It shall not affect the price due to be paid under the contract to be concluded with the successful tenderer. 7. The implementing act, adopted in accordance with Article 14(2), shall specify the scope of application of the IPI measure, including: (a) the sectors or the categories of goods, services and concessions based on the Common Procurement Vocabulary set out in Regulation (EC) No 2195/20021a as well as any applicable exceptions, (b) specific categories of contracting authorities or contracting entities; (c) specific categories of economic operators; (d) specific thresholds equal or above those set out in paragraph 3; (e) as regards the score adjustment measure referred to in paragraph 5(a), the percentage value of the adjustment shall be set up to 40% of the evaluation score of the tender depending on the third country and sector of goods, services, works or concessions envisaged. 8. The Commission shall impose an IPI measure in form of exclusion, according to paragraph 5(b), only when the third-country measure or practice is sufficiently severe and the potential negative impact due to the limited availability of alternative sources, as provided for in paragraph 2(b), is comparatively small. 9. The Commission may withdraw the IPI measure or suspend its application if the third country takes satisfactory corrective actions or undertakes commitments to end the measure or practice in question. If the Commission considers that the corrective actions or commitments undertaken have been rescinded, suspended or improperly implemented, it shall make its findings publicly available and may reinstate the application of the IPI measure at any time. The Commission may withdraw, suspend or reinstate an IPI measure in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 14(2) and followed by the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. 10. An IPI measure shall expire five years from its entry into force or its extension, unless a review shows a need for its continued application. Such a review shall be initiated by a publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, at the initiative of the Commission nine months before the date of expiry, and shall be concluded within six months. Following the review, the Commission may extend the duration of an IPI measure for a period of five years in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 14(2). _________________ 1aRegulation (EC) No 2195/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 November 2002 on the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) (OJ L 340, 16.12.2002, p. 1).
