Derfor har PPE-DE-Gruppen hidtil haft den holdning under debatten, at vi - såfremt der tages højde for sådanne kriterier - ønsker at få dette nedfældet i udbudsbetingelserne og ikke senere end spørgsmålet om tildeling af kontrakten.
This has been the reason why, in the debate so far, the Group of the European People's Party/ European Democrats has always taken the view that, in so far as such criteria are also to be taken into account, they should be so under the heading of the tendering conditions and not left to be dealt with when the contract is awarded.
