Please join the GW Law Government Procurement Law Program for a free webinar on the European Union’s efforts to simplify vendor qualification through the Access2Procurement tool. The tool — which now covers the United States too — allows vendors to check if they may participate in a public procurement competition outside the EU, quickly and simply.

Staff members from the European Commission — Lucian Cernat, Head of Global Regulatory Cooperation and International Procurement Negotiations in Brussels, and Eike Klapper, an EU diplomat in Washington D.C. working on transatlantic industrial policy and public procurement — will discuss how the online tool works, and how it can open transborder trade in procurement.
