The European Commission on 12 May 2005 published a report on the results of a consultation on public-private partnerships (PPPs) that had been launched in April 2004 (IP/04/593). The aim of the consultation was to help assess if there was a need to improve EU law in this area. A majority of stakeholders asked for clarification of EU public procurement rules that apply to the selection of private partners for PPPs. Opinion was divided on the form and the precise content of the EU initiatives required.
