ESMIG supports the revision of EU public procurement rules and calls for a differentiated approach to critical infrastructure tenders to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness, security, and strategic autonomy.
Our key recommendations include:
- Well-designed Made in Europe criteria for strategic and security-relevant sectors to ensure European control over product design, software, critical components, and lifecycle management
- Stronger weighting of non-price criteria, including ESG, cybersecurity, supply-chain resilience, and product lifetime
- Streamline EU public procurement rules in alignment with the FSR to ensure fair competition
