The economic impact of the EC procurement policy is an important aspect of public procurement in the most areas of industry and agriculture. There exist some studies about the economic impact of the EC procurement policy. The first major study was the one commissioned by the European Commission and published in 1997 as a part of a broader evaluation of the European single market. This dealt with the period from 1987 when the directives were substantially revised, to 1994. In February 2004, the Commission published a new summary analysis of the economic impact of the EC rules covering the period 1995−2002. A report on the functioning of public procurement markets in the EU: benefits from the application of the EU directives and challenges for the future (EC 2004). This confirms a much greater importance of the indirect cross-border activity as compared with the direct cross-border binding activity, and also indicates that this form of trade in public markets has increased further. The above mentioned studies in relation to the Economic Impact of the EC procurement Policy are the object of this article.

Jednotlivé texty autorů z Česka, Slovenska a Polska reprezentují širokou paletu přístupů ke zkoumání procesů a jevů v území a nabízejí rozličné metodické přístupy k jejich analýze a způsobu řešení. Jelikož se jedná o sborník předkonferenční, nelze na tomto místě zprostředkovat bezprostřední emoce, které prezentace příspěvků a následná diskuze přinesly. To však jistě není potřebné, neboť si při studiu kvalitních odborných textů jistě utvoříte vlastní názor. Je pravděpodobné, že mnohé myšlenky poslouží jako inspirace k dalšímu výzkumu, k případné spolupráci, či formulaci odlišných závěrů, návrhů či doporučení. Jsme samozřejmě velmi rádi, že obliba našeho kolokvia neklesá a že si mnozí z jejich účastníků červnový termín již rutinně rezervují. Je to důkazem toho, že se nám daří vytvářet významný prostor pro vysoce kvalifikovanou diskuzi, která je všeobecně obohacující a přínosná. Popřejme si tedy navzájem spoustu dalších plodných počinů, zajímavých projektů a chuti prezentovat své ...
