Respecting competition rules is one of the key condition of successful implementation of EU funds. But these rules are not only Public Procurement rules, there are also State Aid to ensure that all advantages (direct or indirect) granted to economic operators (profitable or non-profitable) are granted in a fair and equitable way. So it concerns not only National but all Regional and local actors and it’s not only for the benefit of private firms but all actors and bodies delivering services that could influence economic situation, including social activities.
