4 Conclusion / Closure
Mr Renner summarised the main outcomes of the workshop:
• The eTendering adoption in the EU countries has already reached good results
and this process is progressing very well, event if not in a uniform way in all the
countries.
• The Commission is expected to play a crucial role in supporting this process,
mainly by facilitating the harmonisation of legislations, supporting the adoption of
interoperable solutions, giving also practical support, for example to develop
solutions to remove linguistic barriers,
• The importance of sharing know-how and improve training has been remarked by
all the speakers.
• There are still small volumes of cross-border procurement procedures,
sometimes due to legislative and cultural barriers and sometimes also due to
reluctance of the Contracting Authorities in opening up the competition to foreign
bidders
The chairmen, Mr. Wolfang Renner and Mrs Eva Coscia, thanked the speakers and the
attendants for having created a very stimulating and interactive atmosphere and will
invite everybody to continue a fruitful sharing of knowledge and experience by
participating in the life of the eProcurement Forum community and in the various running
initiatives mentioned during the workshop.
