Der Beitrag stellt die verwaltungsrechtlichen Grundsätze vor, die in Europaratsabkommen, den Empfehlungen des Ministerkomitees des Europarates, der Beschlusspraxis von Ein-richtungen des Europarates (wie der »Venedig Kommission«) und der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte (EGMR) zum Ausdruck kommen. Er erläutert, welche Bedeutung diesen Grundsätzen für das nationale Verwaltungsrecht der 47 Mitglied-staaten des Europarates (insbesondere auch für Deutschland) zukommt.
The history of German public procurement law is a history of attempts by the German legislator to implement the EU public procurement directives on judicial protection, namely Directive 89/665/EEC of 21 December 1989, as minimally as possible. Paradoxically, the history of German procurement law is also the history of an increased spreading of the model of judicial review in ‘competitive award procedures’ underlying Directive 89/665/EEC
to other administrative procedures.
Here, one can discern mutual fertilization of the discussions on the minimal standards for judicial protection foreseen in Directive 89/665/EEC, as well as a parallel discussion on mini-mal standards (directly derived from the German constitution) for judicial review in competi-tive award procedures concerning the recruitment of public officials.
On this basis, one may discern trends in German case law, administrative practice, and scho-larship towards developing judicial review systems in competitive award procedures for pub-lic procurement beyond the thresholds set by the EU directives. This is relevant for privati-zations, gambling licences, and procedures to grant the right to use public spaces, to name only a few. However, these trends encounter difficulties because the German General Administrative Court Procedure Act and other relevant legislation are not tailored to com-petitive award procedures. This article will analyse these different trends and suggest explanations for them.
