(8) Many third countries are reluctant to open their public procurement and their concessions markets to international competition, or to open those markets further than what they have already done. As a result, Union economic operators face restrictive procurement practices in many of the trading partners of the Union. Those restrictive procurement practices result in the loss of substantial trading opportunities. In addition, a number of third countries have not ratified or are not implementing some of the international social and environmental conventions referred to in Article 18(2) of, and Annex X to, Directive 2004/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council1a, which is tantamount to a restrictive practice since Union economic operators are bound by those conventions, including when responding to an invitation to tender in a third country. Those restrictive procurement practices result in the loss of substantial trading opportunities. ___________ 1aDirective2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC (OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 65).
