SUMMARY:Intensive Workshop: Public Procurement and State Aid - A Constructi
 ve Competition?
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between public procurement and State aid contr
 ol rules had been controversial for a long time. Whereas the award of a pu
 blic contract amounted to the grant of State aid in the past - as long as 
 being in compliance with the EU public procurement rules -\, this blunt ex
 clusion of State aid control in the field of public procurement was re-exa
 mined in connection with the 2014 EU Public Procurement Directives and the
  State Aid Modernisation Initiative (SAM). However\, the question remains 
 whether the present rules of EU competition law do lead to a constructive 
 competition or whether internal inconsistencies in areas of EU economic la
 w may still require enhanced convergence.\n\nOur intensive workshop focuss
 es on the interplay of State aid and public procurement rules including th
 e new public procurement and concessions directives. The main focus will b
 e on the sector research\, development and innovation (R&amp\;D&amp\;I) an
 d on Services of General Economic Interest (SGEI). The workshop will provi
 de you with a solid understanding of applicable rules - illustrated by a r
 ange of best-practice examples and various case studies.\n\nMichael Bowshe
 r QC will be chairing this event.\n\nFor Further information and to book
