Having regard to Council Directive 92/50/EEC of 18 June 1992 relating to the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts(1) as amended by Directive 97/52/EC(2), and in particular Article 22 thereof, Council Directive 93/36/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts(3) as amended by Directive 97/52/EC, and in particular Article 14 thereof, Council Directive 93/37/EEC of 14 June 1993, concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts(4) as amended by Directive 97/52/EC, and in particular Article 35(2) thereof and Council Directive 93/38/EEC of 14 June 1993, coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors(5) as amended by Directive 98/4/EC(6), and in particular Article 39(2) and Article 40(2) and (3) thereof,
