Trade: Orgalim Position Paper on the International Procurement Instrument
06/07/2020

The EU is advocating for the opening up of public procurement markets in third countries, both at the plurilateral level through a revised Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA)1, and in its bilateral trade negotiations, to grant European companies equivalent market access in non-EU countries.
