What does the requirement mean?
That workers performing a public contract have pay and conditions in line with the applicable generally applicable collective agreement or, where there is none, the relevant national agreement.
Who is responsible?
The supplier, for its own workers and for its subcontractors' workers. The buyer must set the requirement in the contract and check compliance under its duty of oversight.
