peer agreement (net): +1"self-cleaning" Explanation: I'd use quotation marks. See Teresa Medina Arnaiz, “The Exclusion of Tenderers in public procurement as an anti-corruption mean”; Sue Arrowsmith, Hans-Joachim Prie and Pascal Friton, “Self-cleaning as a Defence to Exclusions for Misconduct: an Emerging Concept in EC Public Procurement Law?” (2009) Public Procurement Law Review, 18 Issue 6, pp 484 et seq. http://hawleyfeinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/debarment... Lawyers welcomed the green paper’s calls for clarification on the scope, application and extent of the exclusion of bidders for contracts on the grounds of corruption, and noted that the possibility of so-called “self-cleaning” measures being incorporated into the EU to help companies remedy their negative situation could give rise to “greater demand” for compliance and governance advice. Lawyers in the UK are already expecting an increase in compliance advice after the introduction of the Bribery Act earlier this year, under which companies without adequate anti-bribery procedures in place can become subject to unlimited fines, confiscation of property and disqualification of directors, as well as debarment from bidding for public procurement contracts. http://www.whoswholegal.com/news/analysis/article/29135/rese... self-cleaning http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/pprg/documentsarchive/asialinkma... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2012-02-14 14:02:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- An important issue on which the current EU public procurement Directives remain silent is what are referred to as the "self-cleaning" measures, i.e. measures taken by the interested economic operator to remedy a negative situation affecting his/her eligibility. Their effectiveness depends on their acceptance by Member States. The issue of "self-cleaning measures" stems from the need to strike a balance between the implementation of the grounds for exclusion and respect for proportionality and equality of treatment. The consideration of self-cleaning measures may help contracting authorities in carrying out an objective and fuller assessment of the individual situation of the candidate or tenderer in order to decide its exclusion from a procurement procedure. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:20... |
