Article 36a Conditions for performance of contracts 1. The contracting authorities or entities shall apply additional social and environmental criteria for the provision of the works and services, which shall be indicated in the notice of the concession. 2. As regards the wages (including bonuses), working hours and other working conditions of the workers involved in performing the concession, the contracting authorities or entities shall lay down requirements which are no less favourable than the conditions which apply in the same area for the same work in the profession or industry concerned on the basis of: (a) a collective wage agreement or the outcome of another recognised negotiating procedure concluded by associations of workers and employers to which a substantial proportion of the workers and employers in the profession or industry concerned belong, or (b) an arbitration ruling (when national law makes provision for this), or (c) national law. If in the area in which the work is to be performed the relevant working conditions are not governed in one of the ways referred to above, the conditions to be granted by the contracting authorities and entities must guarantee the workers involved wages (including bonuses), working hours and other working conditions which are no less favourable than the conditions granted by employers who are in the nearest comparable area or belong to the same profession or industry as the party to the contract and who are in the same circumstances.
