Abstract
The following chapter presents the particularities of the public procurement rules in the EFTA pillar of the EEA. Some of the provisions of the EU directives have been incorporated into the SCA. These rules are still applicable in the EFTA pillar of the EEA although they have been abrogated in the EU. The chapter also contains a list of national legislation which implements the rules on public procurement in the EEA/EFTA States (as of 2014).

According to the wording in point 5 of Annex XVI to the EEA Agreement (Directive 89/665), Article 2(8) of the directive, originally had the following adaptation: ‘review by another body which is a court or tribunal within the meaning of criteria laid down by the Court of Justice in its interpretation of Article [267 TFEU] and independent…’. This adaptation presumes that the definition of a court or a tribunal in Article 34 SCA and Article 367 TFEU is identical. However this has been changed through JCD 83/2011(OJ 2011 L 262, p. 54 and EEA Supplement No 54, 6.10.2011, p. 68) which refers to Article 34 SCA. See below.
