Enforcement of the EC Public Procurement Rules in Denmark

The aim of this article is to present and analyse the trends in enforcement of the EC public procurement rules in Denmark by describing the "typical" case before the Complaints Board for Public Procurement. The Board has the primary role in the enforcement of the EC procurement rules in Denmark and has the power to grant interim measures, the power to establish that the rules have been violated, the power to issue set aside orders to contracting authorities and as of 2000 the power to award damages for infringements of the EC public procurement rules.
