Directive 2007/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2007 amending Council Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC with regard to improving the effectiveness of review procedures concerning the award of public contracts (Text with EEA relevance ) · European Union

(29) The voluntary attestation system provided for by Directive 92/13/EEC, whereby contracting entities have the possibility of having the conformity of their award procedures established through periodic examinations, has been virtually unused. It cannot thus achieve its objective of preventing a significant number of infringements of Community law on public procurement. On the other hand, the requirement imposed on Member States by Directive 92/13/EEC to ensure the permanent availability of bodies accredited for this purpose can represent an administrative maintenance cost which is no longer justified in the light of the lack of real demand by contracting entities. For these reasons, the attestation system should be abolished.
