  "text": "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:\n(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;\n(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.\nThe Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 66a amending the thresholds as provided for in the first subparagraph.\nWhere it is necessary to revise the thresholds as provided for in the first subparagraph, and time constraints prevent the use of the procedure set in Article 66a and therefore imperative grounds of urgency so require, the procedure provided for in Article 66b shall apply to delegated acts adopted pursuant to this paragraph.\n2. 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.\n3. 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.",
