AEGIS Europe's updated position on an International Procurement Instrument

As emphasised by AEGIS Europe in previous position papers, European businesses cannot always get equal access to procurement markets outside the EU due to several public procurement-related barriers (lack of transparency or discrimination in tendering procedures, local content requirements…), or, if access is granted, it comes with conditions which increase the risk in further investment from EU companies.

The Alliance advocates for an ambitious and efficient instrument that supports the opening of international markets, especially as the current crisis could result in further protectionist measures and barriers for European companies abroad. Read our position paper here.
