Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 31 (31) In addition, new electronic purchasing techniques are constantly being developed, such as electronic catalogues. They help to increase competition and streamline public purchasing, particularly in terms of savings in time and money.

In particular where competition has been reopened under a framework agreement or where a dynamic purchasing system is being used and where sufficient social guarantees are offered in respect of ensuring accessibility, traceability, equal treatment and predictability, contracting entities should be allowed to generate tenders in relation to specific purchases on the basis of previously transmitted electronic catalogues. In line with the requirements of the rules for electronic means of communication, contracting entities should avoid unjustified obstacles to economic operators’ access to procurement procedures in which tenders are to be presented in the form of electronic catalogues and which guarantee compliance with the general principles of non-discrimination and equal treatment.

Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 b (new) (11b) Competent authorities should make an overall assessment of all factual elements in order to determine if an undertaking is genuinely established in a Member State other than the one to which it directs its services.

Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 c (new) (11c) In order to assess whether a posted worker is temporarily carrying out his or her work in a Member State other than the one in which he or she normally works, all elements characterizing such work and the situation of the worker should be examined.

Amendment 208 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 32 (32) Member States should take appropriate measures in the event of failure to comply with the obligations laid down in this Directive, including administrative and judicial procedures, and should provide for effective, dissuasive and proportionate penalties for any breaches of the obligations under this Directive. Insufficient cooperation between Member States remains a problem in enforcing Directive 96/71/EC. This hinders the creation of a level playing field for companies and the protection of workers. In the case of Member States failing to live up to the provisions laid down in this Directive and Directive 96/71/EC, the Commission should, in accordance with the Treaty of the European Union, take legal action.

Amendment 215 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 33 a (new) (33a) Fundamental social rights should not be called into question on grounds of economic freedoms.
