MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – ‘Urgency’ (but only of a secular nature) of the procurement procedure without publication of an EU contract notice for the Rome incinerator – E-002705/2024(ASW)

Based on the information provided in the written question, it is unclear whether Directive 2014/24/EU[1] would apply to the award of the contract referred to by the Honourable Members.

In any event, national courts and review bodies referred to in the directives on remedies in public procurement (Directive 89/665/EEC[2] and Directive 92/13/EEC[3], as amended by Directive 2007/66/EC[4] and Directive 2014/23/EU[5]) are best placed to assess in the first place, according to the facts of each case, whether contracting authorities and contracting entities respected their obligations under EU law as transposed into national law in a specific award procedure.
