Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the CouncilShow full title

Article 68 Revision of thresholds

1. At the same time as the revision of the thresholds laid down in Directive 2004/17/EC referred to in Article 69 thereof, the Commission shall also revise the thresholds laid down in Article 8 of this Directive by aligning:

(a) the threshold established in Article 8(a) of this Directive to the revised threshold laid down in Article 16(a) of Directive 2004/17/EC;

(b) the threshold established in Article 8(b) of this Directive to the revised threshold laid down in Article 16(b) of Directive 2004/17/EC.

Such revision and alignment, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be carried out in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 67(3). On imperative grounds of urgency, the Commission may have recourse to the urgency procedure referred to in Article 67(4).

2. The value of the thresholds set pursuant to paragraph 1 in the national currencies of Member States which do not participate in the euro shall be aligned to the values of the thresholds laid down in Directive 2004/17/EC referred to in paragraph 1, calculated in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 69(2) of Directive 2004/17/EC.

3. The revised thresholds referred to in paragraph 1 and their corresponding values in national currencies shall be published by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union at the beginning of the November following their revision.
