#8 Art 18(2) and the Tim case: a sustainability principle? & procrastination strategies

January 28, 2021

In episode #8, we discuss article 18(2) Directive 2014/24/EU. Its nature, character, and scope as well as shortcomings. We focus our discussions on analyzing whether the sustainability referred to in Article 18(2) can pass the test to be truly understood as a procurement principle. This leads us to reflect on the CJEU ruling in Case C-395/18 Tim SpA where the court refers to 18(2) cardinal values with which the Member States must ensure compliance. For dessert, we discuss strategies to fight procrastination and get writing!
