Paragraph 5
5. Recalls its resolution of May 2010 on recent developments in public procurement, which took note of the ECJ case-law and took the view that public- public cooperation was not subject to public procurement rules as long as the following criteria were met: that the purpose of the partnership was the provision of a public-service task conferred on all the local authorities concerned and that the task was carried out solely by the public authorities concerned, i.e. without the involvement of private capital; underlines that those clarifications; considers that the Court of Justice has established sufficient legal certainty by means of its case-law on public-public cooperation, so that public- public cooperation should not be affected by the modernisation of EU public procurement law and should not be codified in the procurement directivesany other context either;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Advocates clear and simple rules with a reduction in the level of detail and greater reliance upon the general principles of transparency, equal treatment and non- discrimination; in view of the small number of foreign operators who are interested in local projects and the number of contracts of local extent actually awarded in Europe as a whole, considers that a significant raising of the thresholds would bring about substantial administrative simplification;
