English to Bulgarian: EU Affairs, On Collusion in Public Procurement Markets General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English Collusion is a recurring phenomenon in public procurement markets (including in key economic sectors, such as construction, IT or health). In emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the public authorities’ urgent need to procure, in a very short time, large quantities of supplies and services for their health systems may exacerbate the risk of collusion among some economic operators, who may try to take advantage of the emergency and artificially restrict competition in order to maximise their gains at the expense of public finances. The detrimental effects of collusion on public finances may prove even greater in the aftermath of such emergencies, when economic recovery depends on the best possible use of available public funds and on making sizeable investments in critical economic sectors. Undue spending of excessive amounts for works, supplies and services means fewer public funds for carrying out core state business, larger budget deficits and a more acute need for states to resort to lending, thus jeopardising their financial stability and undermining their recovery efforts.
Translation - Bulgarian Тайните споразумения са повтарящо се явление на пазарите на обществените поръчки, включително в основни икономически сектори като строителството, информационните технологии и здравеопазването. По време на извънредни ситуации, като например пандемията от COVID-19, спешната необходимост публичните органи да осигурят в кратък срок големи количества доставки и услуги за здравните системи може да изостри риска от тайни споразумения сред някои икономически оператори, които може направят опит да се възползват от извънредната ситуация и да ограничат изкуствено конкуренцията с цел да увеличат максимално своите печалби за сметка на публичните финанси. Пагубните последици на тайните споразумения за публичните финанси би могло и да се окажат по-сериозни след такива извънредни ситуации, когато икономическото възстановяване зависи от оптималното използване на наличните публични средства и от извършването на значителни инвестиции в икономически сектори от решаващо значение. Неоснователното разходване на прекомерно високи суми за строителство, доставки и услуги води до намаляване на публичните средства за извършване на основни държавни дейности, до по-големи бюджетни дефицити, както и до по-остра необходимост държавите да прибягват до заемни средства, което застрашава финансовата им стабилност и подкопава усилията им за възстановяване.
