Water Europe (WE) welcomes the EU Commission evaluation of the public procurement and procurement by entities operating in the water sector. Public procurement, accounting for nearly 14% of the EUs GDP and a significant channel for EU Structural & Investment Funds, is uniquely positioned to drive this transformation.
