Recalls its resolution of May 2010 on recent developments in public procurement, which took note of the ECJ case-law and took the view that public- public cooperation was not subject to public procurement rules as long as the following criteria were met: that the purpose of the partnership was the provision of a public-service task conferred on all the local authorities concerned and that the task was carried out solely by the public authorities concerned, i.e. without the involvement of private capital; underlines that those clarifications should be codified in the procurement directives;, and the activity involved was essentially performed on behalf of the public authorities concerned; underlines that those clarifications should be codified in the procurement directives; (The report lists individual criteria on which the Court of Justice has taken a position, but omits one of them. This amendment seeks to remedy this omission.)
