'This is the most comprehensive book currently available on the state of European Union law on this subject, it is a must have for the bookshelf of any lawyer dealing with competition law or public procurement law related to consortias or other kinds of cooperation among tenderers. I recommend this book without hesitation.'--Jesper Fabricius, Partner and Attorney-at-Law, Accura, Denmark'This book considers the interplay between competition rules and public procurement in European Union law in the context of joint bidding for a public contract, and the potential distortion of competition, which may result in the exclusion of bidders from public procurement proceedings. A comprehensive look at this important matter, both from an academic and a professional point of view, was undoubtedly needed. Kuzma and Hartung have succeeded in giving a precise account of how the concept of discretionary exclusion grounds should be understood and how Article 57(4)(d) of Directive 2014/24/EU should be interpreted. This well-structured book is a must-read for everyone interested in competition and public procurement law.'--Piotr Bogdanowicz, Warsaw University, Poland
