Introduction
The topic of the course is the regulatory framework intended to ensure that public enterprises and public funds are managed in the most efficient way possible. It primarily deals with the rules on public procurement, which are rules aimed at ensuring the best possible use of resources when entering into public contracts. Another way of rationalising public enterprises is to define them as separate entities. The legal characteristics of such forms of organisation and its consequences will also be covered. The course also deals with the rules that place special limitations on the public sector as a market participant (The EEA Agreements government assistance rules).
