(1)

Directives 89/665/EEC and 2014/24/EU require that public supply, public works and public service contracts be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union. The notices for those publications should include the information set out in those Directives.

(2)

Directives 92/13/EEC and 2014/25/EU require that works contract, supply contracts and service contracts in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union. The notices for those publications should include the information set out in those Directives.

(3)

Directive 2009/81/EC requires that certain works contracts, supply contracts and service contracts in the field of defence and security be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union. The notices for that publication should include the information set out in that Directive.

(4)

Directives 89/665/EEC, 92/13/EEC and 2014/23/EU require that works concessions and service concessions be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union. The notices for those publications should include the information set out in those Directives.

(5)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 842/2011 (7) sets out the standard forms provided for by Directives 2004/17/EC, 2004/18/EC, 2009/81/EC, 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC.

(6)

In order to comply with Directives 2014/23/EU, 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU and to ensure the full effectiveness of Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC, it is necessary to adapt the standard forms annexed to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 842/2011 and to add new standard forms. Given the number and extent of the necessary adjustments, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 842/2011 should be replaced.

(7)

However, where a Member State implements Directives 2014/23/EU, 2014/24/EU or 2014/25/EU or the amendments to Directive 89/665/EEC or 92/13/EEC before the end of the deadline on 18 April 2016, its contracting authorities and contracting entities should hereafter only use the standard forms established by the present Implementing Regulation as these alone are designed to ensure conformity with the legal requirements of the new or amended Directives.

(8)

Directive 2009/81/EC has not been amended; consequently the standard forms provided for by that Directive have also remained unchanged. They should therefore continue to be used until Implementing Regulation (EU) No 842/2011 is repealed.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Public Procurement,
