This paper proposes an Action Plan for the implementation of the new legal framework for electronic public procurement adopted in April 2004 as part of the legislative package of Procurement Directives, 2004/18/EC and 2004/17/EC. These provide a coherent framework for conducting procurement electronically in an open, transparent and nondiscriminatory way, establish rules for tendering electronically and fix the conditions for modern purchasing techniques based on electronic means of communication.
