Dragos, Professor, Center for Good Governance Studies, Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences, Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania, Kirsi-Maria Halonen, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Lapland, Finland, Bogdana Neamtu, Associate Professor, Center for Good Governance Studies, Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences, Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania and the late Steen Treumer, formerly Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Contract Changes comparatively analyses the contract modification regulation of 11 EU Member States, drawing on case law and common legal practice. As the first comparative study of material contract modifications, this book explores the interpretation of key concepts such as: unforeseen circumstances, non-equivocal clauses and the overall nature of the contract.

‘The execution phase of public contracts is subject to public procurement law and principles, but it is non-transparent compared with the pre-award stages of public contracting. With its comparative study of procurement contract execution in several EU countries this book provides a highly valuable insight into this post-award area of public procurement law.’
