AEa. whereas the Clean Industrial Deal and the Letta report both emphasise that procurement should be leveraged as a key instrument in supporting the EU’s social and environmental objectives, including the creation of quality jobs and the promotion of collective bargaining; whereas taking into account social criteria in public procurement can bring benefits in the medium and long term, such as the availability of a skilled workforce, increased labour market participation and well-being, decent living wages and stimulation of demand, local and regional tax revenues, and regional cohesion, as well as trust in public institutions and democratic processes;

Welcomes the acknowledgment of the Commission in its Clean Industrial Deal communication that ‘the use of social conditionalities in public funding ensures that workers benefit from the support provided to industry, including to promote collective bargaining’1a; welcomes the Commission’s intention to support labour and social standards in order to ensure that the transition is fair and equitable for all in the context of the revision of the legislative framework on public procurement; highlights the fact that the Letta report called for public procurement legislation to ensure that contracts foster the creation of high-quality jobs, characterised by fair wages and conditions underpinned by collective agreements;

Paragraph 82 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

82a. Underlines that the inclusion of social and health services under the ‘light regime’ in the application of the EU’s public procurement rules has had a detrimental effect in certain Member States on the quality and continuity of care and that there have been virtually no cross-border bids, since the provision of these services is very specific to the organisation of the welfare state; calls, therefore, on the Commission to assess the impact of the inclusion of social and health services and to consider revising this inclusion within the scope of Directive 2014/24/EU;
