all economic operators established under Article 10.1 a) of these Regulations are<br />

implemented throughout its procurements, the Agency shall have the right to<br />

contractually impose on its Prime Contractors the tendering requirements they have to<br />

follow in the selection of their industrial consortium and the contractual replication by<br />

the Prime Contractors of such requirements on their sub contractors.<br />

To that effect, the Director General shall establish a specific set of procurement<br />

requirements to be made applicable to all such contracts between the Agency and Prime<br />

Contractors.<br />

Such requirements shall be called “Best Practices for the Selection of subcontractors by<br />

Prime Contractors in the Frame of <strong>ESA</strong>’s Procurements” and shall be approved by the<br />

Industrial Policy Committee.<br />

2. Where the Agency sets such contractual obligations on the Prime Contractor, the<br />

tendering process to be carried out by the Prime Contractor (or when applicable by its<br />

sub contractors or the Agency in application of Article 22.1.b.ii of these Regulations)<br />

and the resulting contracts which the Prime Contractor (or when applicable its sub<br />

contractors) awards are not subject to the right of review provided for under Part VI of<br />

these Regulations.
