Abstract: | This paper initially presents Stabilization and Association Agreements (SAAs) provisions in terms of trade openness to the
EC competition. It also makes reference to Europe Agreements (EUs) provision in this matter. It aims more precisely at specifying
the impact of public procurement provisions of those Agreements to five Western Balkan public procurement markets. Combining
the extent of “Buy National” policies within these countries, with information on the current international competitiveness,
the paper identifies those industries that are likely to be particularly sensitive to the abolition of “Buy National” practices
due to the provisions of the SAAs. These results can help national authorities overcome part of the negative impacts due to
the EU competition. |
