LA APLICACIÓN DEL ACUERDO COMERCIAL CON LA UNIÓN EUROPEA EN LA CONTRATACIÓN PÚBLICA

Abstract

Public procurement consists in the acquisition of goods, public works and provision of services and it is through this that the state can comply with those public policies focused on the regime of development of the country. The previous procurement laws did not have standardized processes nor the principles of transparency and publicity nor where met by the principles of transparency and publicity hence it was not guaranteed the quality of public spending. State purchases constitute the dynamizing source of the national economy because they promote the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MIPYMES) and actors of popular, social and solidarity-based economies (AEPYS). With the signing of the Multipart Trade Agreement (ACM) with the European Union (EU), it is seeked to have a better relationship with the EU, bearing in mind the objectives set out in the Organic Law of the National System of Public Procurement (LOSNCP). Ecuador with the ACM doesn't necessarily have to engage with foreign suppliers, the only thing that must be done is to publish on the website of the European Union the invitation to contract.
