How the requests from the European Union can be ensure cannot be answered. But for sure the
rules are an effort on finding a solution accepted by all the member states. For some states the
rules seem bureaucratic and controlling and for others quite moderate dependent on which
country and region a participant in a project is coming from. Inside the European Union there is
a big difference in how much faith we have in other fellow human beings. Thus there is a
difference in moral and ethics for participants in a project (Svendsen, G.T., Svendsen, G.L.H.,
2006).
A different shown in the studies is that the more welfare in a population the bigger faith we have
in other fellow human beings and the better moral and ethics will appear. (Svendsen, G.T.,
Svendsen, G.L.H., 2006)
The EU-directives are an attempt to make a common denominator accepted by all the member
states. The rules are developed in 1993 and regularly revised. The financial situation and
welfare of the individual countries have also changed to the better, especially for the poorest of
the countries (Statistics Denmark, 2005). This information compared with an expectation about
a bigger faith in the collaborators in a project, thus moral and ethics should raise, with the result
that the parties do not work against each other but instead a win-win situation arise.
The previous information can maybe lead to changes in the EU-directives. As the rules are
construed now, it is not very easy to make assignment criteria as personal skills, personal
qualities and cooperating measurable and unambiguous in a way so the criteria are accepted by
the court. In Denmark court decisions from The Danish Board of Complaints on Tendering
show that using other criteria than the lowest price are difficult, and there is a need for making
measurable and unambiguous criteria (Ussing, L.F., 2008).
In the longer run the EU-directives have to follow the requests of the clients. It can be as in case
of the little heating plant were the requests from the client were cooperating in a good way:
capability of team work, making a win-win situation and special personal skills and qualities. If
these sorts of requests are dominating, the EU-directives must be adjusted to make it possible in
an easy way to use such criteria without ending up in court.
A way could be to use key performance indicators as assignment criteria. But if the key
performance indicators shall be applicable and impartial, the indicators have to be compiled by
a non-partisan organisation, so it can be assumed that the indicators are reliable, unambiguous
and objective. At this time of key performance indicators do not exist. The indicators from
KPIzone have the right depth as well as the width, but they are made by the companies
themselves and therefore not impartial. The Danish key performance indicators made by The
Benchmark Centre for the Danish Construction sector are impartial, but they do not have the
right depth as well as width yet. If the future can bring a combination of the English and the
Danish system there is a chance to get an applicable system.
In the long term it can be desirable to have EU-directives which in a way so even the public
clients and the private clients are able to use and want to use the directives, also when they do
