Recital 32 a (new)
(32a) In addition to the specific new tools, which are introduced in this Directive to foster the involvement of SMEs in the public procurement market, member states and contracting authorities should continue to create SME-friendly public procurement strategies. Implementing and applying these new rules, which are more favourable to SMEs than the current regime, will not be sufficient as such. The Commission has published a staff working document "European code of best practices facilitating access by SMEs to public procurement contracts" (SEC (2008)COM 2193, which aims at encouraging member states to launch national strategies, programs and action plans in order to improve SMEs participation in these markets. In this spirit, national, regional and local authorities should rigorously apply the rules set in the directive and implement consistent general policies designated to enhance SMEs access to public procurement markets.
