In October, CES Bucharest teamed-up with The International Pan-European Union Romania in hosting an insightful gathering on the occasion of the Central Europe Regional Working Group Meeting on Public Procurement and Public Private Partnerships in Bucharest, efficiently organized by the Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) – United States Department of Commerce.

Developing a strong PPP Agenda across CEE has been the central focus of the meeting, with participants from the United States, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland and Romania, all sharing and learning about the best practices in public procurement and PPPs, with a specific emphasis on the infrastructure sector.

Created in 1992, CLDP’s mandate is to work with emerging economies to improve the policy, legal, and regulatory conditions for trade, investment, and commercial activity. CLDP provides legal technical assistance, legislative and policy advisory services, and institutional capacity building to host country governments in support of their economic development goals.
