The Agreement is a plurilateral instrument and its purpose is to mutually open government procurement markets among its parties. It applies to any procurement contract with a value that reaches or exceeds the amounts (‘thresholds’) set in it and expressed as special drawing rights.\n(2)\nOne of the objectives of Directive 2014/25/EU is to allow the contracting entities which apply that Directive to comply at the same time with the obligations laid down in the Agreement. To achieve that, the thresholds laid down by that Directive for public contracts which are also covered by the Agreement should be aligned in order to ensure that they correspond to the euro equivalents, rounded down to the nearest thousand, of the thresholds set out in the Agreement.\n(3)\nFor reasons of coherence, it is appropriate to align also the thresholds laid down in Directive 2014/25/EU which are not covered by the Agreement.\n(4)\nDirective 2014/25/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
