Legal base

The Procurement Directive 2004/18/EC is based on the following provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC):

Article 47(2) TEC on the right of establishment as self-employed persons,

Article 55 TEC relating to the freedom to provide services.

Article 95 TEC relating to measures for the approximation of laws for the establishment and functioning of the internal market.

The directive was issued according to the so called co-decision procedure (Article 251 TEC).
