Regional conference on public procurement, Paris 24-25 April 2014
The conference, held at OECD headquarters, was SIGMA’s first regional meeting for the central public procurement authorities of the countries in the European Union’s eastern neighbourhood (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine). The purpose of the conference was to help align national policies with good international practice and develop the remedies systems and to give opportunities for information sharing and networking.
In a series of sessions, each devoted to a specific field, international experts and SIGMA staff made introductory presentations. The country representatives then described the current developments in their countries and shared their experience, followed by discussion. The EU package of three new public procurement directives adopted early 2014 was also presented.
