From French PPP to EU approach

PPP : no more than PP, the best or the worst of public procurement

13

• PPP a kind of PP since it is not privatisation and requires contracting a private company

• The best of PP: the private contractor is asked to do as much as it is possible

• The worst is possible:

• High value contract

• Visibility

• complexity
