Administrative cooperation in the public contracts and service sectors for the progress of European integration

Abstract

Administrative cooperation might become a strategic tool for the European integration and the effectiveness of citizens' rights. As such, it requires actions to support, coordinate, and supplement Member States' activities in order to develop integrated networks of national and European public administrations. An integrated system of mutual-benefit interactions among public administrations within the European framework might help to develop common experiences for the effective implementation of the EU provisions on public contracts and services. By overcoming National borders as well as legal and linguistic barriers, a similar model of cooperation could contribute to innovate the National organizational models pursuing the best solutions through innovative economic operators and for the benefit of citizens.
