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 2014/24/EU is to allow the contracting authorities, which apply that Directive, to comply at the same time with the obligations laid down in the Agreement. In accordance with Article 6(1) of Directive 2014/24/EU, every two years the Commission is to verify that the thresholds for public contracts and design contests set out in points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 4 of that Directive correspond to the thresholds established in the Agreement. Given that the value of the thresholds calculated in accordance with Article 6(1) of Directive 2014/24/EU is different from the value of the thresholds set out in points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 4 of that Directive, it is necessary to revise these thresholds. In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 2014/24/EU, the thresholds established in Article 13 of that Directive are to be aligned with the thresholds set out in points (a) and (c) of Article 4 of that Directive.\n(3)\nDirective 2014/24/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
