‘Who’s Afraid to Cooperate?’: CJEU Adopts Strict View on Non-Institutionalised Cooperation
Annotation of the Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Fourth Chamber) of 28 May 2020 in Case C-796/18 Informatikgesellschaft für Software-Entwicklung (ISE) mbH v Stadt Cologne and of the Judgment of the Court (Ninth Chamber) of 4 June 2020 in Case C-429/19 Remondis GmbH v Abfallzweckverband Rhein-Mosel-Eifel
Over the past twenty years, the Court of Justice of the European Union rendered multiple judgments on the subject of exemptions from public procurement law. This case law has been consolidated in the current Public Procurement Directive. The cases examined in the present annotation offered the Court a first opportunity to further clarify the non-institutionalised cooperation exemption in light of this Directive. The Court has seized this occasion to emphasise its strict position on exempted non-institutionalised cooperation once again.
