Summary/Abstract: This opinion evaluates four Deputies’ bill as to whether or not they are in conformity with three new EU directives on public procurement. The presented analysis confirms the compliance with EU law of a Deputies’ bill included contained in Sejm Paper No. 1076 and welcomes the extension of the catalog of evaluation criteria to include the criterion of innovative character of proposed solutions. The authors find the bill contained in Sejm Paper No. 1226 to be incompatible with EU law, because contrary to EU law it presupposes the primacy of the criterion of the lowest prices over other criteria. The bill included in Sejm Papers No. 1335 and No. 1635 are found partially incompatible with EU law, due to the lack of objectively justified reasons for division of public procurement into those representing functional and technical unity, as well as a violation of the principle of equal treatment and transparency.
